[K12OSN] Linux client file shareing protocols

[Jamie]

We're setting up some Fedora core 2 stand alone clients for teachers to 
use on their desktops. They all have home directories on one of our 
file servers. I really hate to share these via NFS with the security 
concerns of NFS (exporting the /data/staff/ directory to our entire 
subnet where we could get a malicious user switching UIDs to delete 
other peoples files etc).

So i am wondering how you guys do it? Is this a legitimate security 
concern? Could i somehow auto-mount the users volumes via smb? I would 
like to not have the users home folder local, but rather located on the 
server.

Any ideas?
