Yeah, that was a linux mountd bug. Fixed by the below. And note the
rfc language it mentions:
"For this reason, a NFS client SHOULD use the first flavor in the
list that it supports, on the assumption that the best access is
provided by the first flavor. NFS servers that support the
ability to export file systems with multiple security flavors
SHOULD either present the best accessing flavor first to the
client, or leave the order under the control of the system
administrator."
Of course we may still be stuck with buggy servers, so perhaps a careful
client will still want to handle auth_null at least specially....
Hey Chuck and Bruce,
Thanks for the discussion on this subject, it really helped us by
understanding what the
Linux client and server was doing.
