Abstract :
In this paper, the design and implementation of PNFS, a secure private network file system is demonstrated. On PNFS each user who has an account on a remote machine is permitted to mount remote files without the assistance of the system administrator. This mount operation and the access to the mounted files are kept secured. The evaluation of PNFS is also discussed
