[Sheflug] NFS/FTPFS/LUFS

[Bill Best <bill [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am looking at implementing network file sharing over at least two 
Linux servers.

Not knowing a great deal about this, I don't know whether to go for NFS, 
FTPFS or LUFS or even something else that I may have overlooked.

I will initially be backing up the contents of one server to a remotely 
mounted filesystem but then eventually progressing to accessing remotely 
mounted files.

The questions that I am considering so far are as follows:

i) can the system be installed using rpms?
ii) is any complex kernel-tweaking involved?
iii) how secure is the end result?
iv) how easy is it to use overall?

I'm sure that fellow Sheflug-ers would have some thoughts on this.

Cheers
