I have a hard time seeing a real benefit to returning an error here. Also, note the only reason to use pg_authenticate is if you want to return an rpc-level error. Not that it's a problem to do the work here in pg_authenticate if you want to, but if it's easier to just allow the request through and let the nfs layer decide what to do with it, that shouldn't be a problem either. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
