4.6. Can I use ssh to securely forward UDP-based services, such as NFS or NIS?

There is a general working solution for RPC-based services, such as
NIS. You can download it from ftp://ftp.tu-
chemnitz.de/pub/Local/informatik/sec_rpc/. NIS, in particular, is

In principle, this could also be adapted for NFS; this has not been
done yet.

Services which are based purely on UDP, such as DNS, have not been
secured with ssh yet, although it is possible in principle.
