We’re piloting NFSv3 with Kerberos in our environment. See http://snia.org/sites/default/files2/SPDEcon2013/presentations/Security/Greg... for some details. The main goal is to overcome 16 GIDs limitation.

We currently offer a NFS v3 service that people can purchase. It's relatively inexpensive and basic, but thats what folks like. They can access it from their desktop and then access the data on a cluster to do compute jobs. However, it doesn't meet the requirements of being able to store sensitive data - like ePHI.
I've been exploring the route of NFS v4 with Kerberos, but the Linux client leaves a lot to be desired. Additionally, folks are so used to how NFS v3 works that introducing Kerberos into the mix is challenging.
How are other groups (business, academic, whatever), addressing security, yet doing it in an inexpensive manner and allowing cross-platform access? Is anyone doing NFS v4 (or v3) with Kerberos today?
