Well, actually, there doesn't seem to be anything out there
which has the functionality i am looking for.

Most of the replies whated to know where to get the pcnfsd.

So, here is a clip from the FAQ:

--------------------------------------
 
C-1. What is pcnfsd? What is pcnfsdv2? What is BWNFSD?
 
 
PCNFSD is the server software run on remote systems for service access such
as User authorization and print services. PCNFSD is freely distributed. It
was originally designed for SunSelect's PC-NFS software package but has been
accepted by the X/Open committee as a semi-standard for (PC)NFS.
 
PCNFSDv2 is the current version of this server software.
 
BWNFSD is an alternate server package from Beame & Whiteside, Inc. which is
also freely distributable.
