Does the server support auth_null security? I didn't think it did.
Just off the top of my head, without looking at the code: I
believe it
treats auth_null rpc calls exactly as if they were auth_sys calls
with
uid and gid set to the "anonymous" uid and gid.
OK, so that would break too.
I've lost track of the antecedent to "that".
I think what is meant here is:
If the NFS server does support AUTH_NULL, (properly working) clients
won't use it unless it is listed in the flavor list passed back by MNT.
