No sales pitch intended here. I just want to point out an alternative and
get other opinions. Just like the rest of the group.
NSS offer the following file access protocols (NAS protocols) CIFS, NFS,
AFP, NCP, HTTP, FTP and WebDAVare supported.
NSS has Rich namespace supportNovell Storage Services manages four
namespaces simultaneously for the richest cross-platform file system
available: Windows (case-insensitive), Unix (case-sensitive), Macintosh
(case-insensitive) and DOS (case-insensitive). Namespace semantics are
enforced for each namespace independently.
I only point out NSS, because it appears to offer a richer if not stronger
set of security and access control (more granularity) offerings on the
back-end than most of the other file systems offer.
