I suggest you should be careful here. By default NFS seems to assume that only trusted hosts (not users) will connect. If your share is read-only that may not be a problem (depending on the information shared).

You should also make sure samba is using (sufficiently strongly) encrypted passwords as well.

You may want to read the security section of the handbook.

PS: If I want to be paranoid over wireless I need new hardware. My PII 350 can only do SSH (128 bit 3-DES?) at ~1MB/s.
