Re: linux / automount not respecting sec=sys parameter when NFS server supports sys:krb5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Yes, on the filer /etc/exports (and exportfs output) the parameter is
-sec=sys:krb5
It works generally for mounts listed in /etc/fstab, but automount is a
weird one.

I believe we have narrowed it down to 2.6.20 kernel behavior. More
news forthcoming with a newer kernel.
