The HOWTO mentions: 4.5 A known issue using NFS with kerberos _________________________________________ Even if "no_root_squash" option is used, while exporting a filesystem at the server, root on the client gets a "Permission denied" error when creating files on the mount point. This is because there is no proper mapping between root and the GSSAuthName. And indeed, I continue to see this on Fedora 16. Are there any better workarounds for this now? Any hope of this getting fixed? I need to have root access to certain directories, mainly for backups.
