Be careful about using NFS with no protection between you and the
Internet.  It is an insecure protocol in that it doesn't deal with
authentication.  I would only run NFS behind a firewall.  Be sure to
read section 6 of the How-To mentioned above before using NFS on an
unprotected network.

I also thought of another question concerning the password prompt when
using the fish:// protocol.  Do you have a private/public key that is
used for ssh access to the remote machine?  If so, did you try the
password to your private key?
