Tell me I'm not reading this!! :( More info here:

There's a white paper available, too; security is dealt with to a small
extent, but there's no mention made of being able to run WebNFS
chrooted, or even in a user-mode (ie. out-of-kernel) context; it's all
along the lines of "pluggable cryptographic authentication will be
supported in a future release". :(
Good old Sun, one hand doesn't know what the other one is doing!
