I apologize I have posted an incomplete problem/solution and possibly to the wrong thread. Problem: linux client mounting linux server using rc4-hmac-md5 enctype. gssd fails with create a context after receiving a reply from the server. Diagnose: putting printout statements in the server kernel and kerberos libraries revealed that client and server derived different integrity keys. Server kernel code was at fault due the the commit [aglo@skydive linux-pnfs]$ git show 411b5e05617593efebc06241dbc56f42150f2abe commit 411b5e05617593efebc06241dbc56f42150f2abe Author: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 13 12:48:01 2010 -0700 net/sunrpc: Use static const char arrays Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_krb5_mech.c b/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_krb5_ index 0326446..8a4d083c 100644 --- a/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_krb5_mech.c +++ b/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_krb5_mech.c @@ -422,7 +422,7 @@ static int context_derive_keys_rc4(struct krb5_ctx *ctx) { struct crypto_hash *hmac; - char sigkeyconstant[] = "signaturekey"; + static const char sigkeyconstant[] = "signaturekey"; int slen = strlen(sigkeyconstant) + 1; /* include null terminator */ struct hash_desc desc; struct scatterlist sg[1]; Solution: if this commit is undone, rc4-based mount works without issues. verified with linux and windows clients. -- 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
