The OS/2 TCP/IP product Release 1.1 contains support
for an NFS Client.

This is available today from IBM.

 I'd say if you are really concerned about security      
 you should not be using NFS's AUTH_UNIX security method.
 For to do so would be fooling yourself.                 
 
 A better authentication method would be AUTH_DES or kerberos.
 But if you really want security you shouldn't be using Unix at all.
