I'm going to have a host PC behind a nat firewall, and a client PC outside the NAT box that will be running iptables that will need to read/write a directory on the host.
I'm planning on exporting a directory rw on the host but am open to other options because, well, I generally hate nfs. The only thing that comes to mind is rsync run by cron every 5 minutes, but config files are getting shared and we need teh changes to be immediate. Lack of encryption isn't a huge concern since the traffic will all be on our lan.
edit: Actually I'm just playing with NFS and its sucking anyway. The NFS server reports the client mounted it successfully, but now when I try to ls that directory the command hangs with state D. I was able to umount -f at least and save a reboot.
