NFSv4 includes as a manditory-to-implement security mechanism GSSAPI
(which really means Kerberos).  I believe the thinking here is that you'd
have everyone share the same Kerberos namespace; if one department's NFS
server gets broken in to, all of the _other_ NFS servers around aren't
compromised (at least, we sure hope not :-) ).
