FUSE

Well, After some reading, moved by a slight contempt towards good old NFS, I decided to give FUSE a try.
Looks like thet on server-side, nothing has to be done, if a ssh server.

On client side:

  1. install sshfs support with aptitude install sshfs
  2. enable automatic fuse module loading at boot adding fuse (just that!) to /etc/modules
  3. enable users to mount adding them to the fuse group (adduser <usrename> fuse)
To mount a remote filesystem:
  1. $ mkdir ~/mnt
  2. $ sshfs user@host:/dir/to/mount ~/mnt
answer with user@host password when asked. Enjoy.
To unmount:
  1. $ fusermount -u ~/mnt
