Hi Steve,

I already use nfs4 to serve my Linux clients. I'm going to kerberize it.
My
clients already have machine and host principals. What else do they need?

1. nfs/client.domain.name
2. nfs/server.domain/name
3. neither
4. both

We run kerberized NFS.

our keytab contains:

on server;
   nfs/server.domain

on client:
   nfs/client.domain

and, of course, you need a consistent  idmap configuration.

Tigran.

Hi Tigran

That's what we have on our test lan at the moment. I can understand that the
server would need the service principal:
   nfs/server.domain
but not the client, as it's not offering any kerberized service.
The mount step happens on behalf of host as there are no user requests yet.
Client host credentials are used at that time.

As an experiment, I removed the nfs/client.domain from a client keytab,
rebooted and remounted the share. We could still access the kerberized nfs
share. Maybe there were still some tickets left somewhere? That has me
really confused.
Huh! did you enforce kerberos in /etc/exports?

Yes. /etc/exports exports as gss/krb5
I made a screenshot:

That's why I'm confused.

Digging a bit further, here is the output of mount on the client:

And this appears immediately after the mount:

Most of the documentation tells you to stick nfs into the client keytab as well as the server keytab, but here, I only have the principal on the server.

What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve
