OpenBSD is my favourite option for servers but not for nfsv4. Do you need file locking or can you use something like sftp (ssh file transfer)?
why don't you like OpenBSD for nfs?
OpenBSD only supports nfsv3. I don't think nfs is highly regarded security wise so that hasn't helped it to get a great deal of attention.
and I am fairly sure nfs is better suited for most of my needs right now since the system has much more storage than my laptop which helps as an always mountable extra space
If you want multi-users and file locking etc.. then cool otherwise I'd personally definately use sftp/ssh. Check out sshfs. Then you can use a public key, with top class security and no password. Chroot and multi-level priviledge seperation takes a second too (about 3 short config lines). It's also super slick.
