It was my impression that the rpcsec_gss stuff was only for NFS4. I take it that my impression was wrong? (I guess I had better double- check and make sure that it's really NFS4 that is needed, and not kerberized NFS3.) > We did a v4 client and it's in the tree now, but sadly neglected.

Yeah, I'm aware of both the v4 client in the tree and Rick's server. > The big thing missing from our client is security (kerberos).

That might be a place to start. Has it been used at all? > No one is working on this right now as far as I know. Yeah, that much seems clear. Sigh. I guess that means if I want it I'll have to do it myself... -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/ http://www.zazzle.com/fmayhar*
