I'm surprised by the lack of documentation available on using
Kerberised NFS with AD. I would have thought that it would be a
fairly common configuration?
Hi
This stuff really does need documenting. I've put together a rough
guide of most of the common misunderstandings here:
http://linuxcostablanca.blogspot.com/2012/02/nfsv4-myths-and-legends.html
Could you get some of this material into the linux-nfs wiki?
The NFS w/ AD stuff, for example, would probably be worth a page of its
own and a top-level link under "Documentation" (and the link to Mike
Eisler's blog entry could be moved to the page, if it still looks like
it's current).
--b.
Unfortunately, I am unable to write technical English in the style
that is required by the wiki.
Just say it however it makes sense to you, ping me, and I can do any
wordsmithing if it seems necessary.
--b.
I am however happy for the link to be
placed there. As there is no user nfs mailing list I'm also happy
for folk to sign up to the article and use _it_ as a mailing list.
OK. I've requested a login. Linux has never been too good with
documentation. At nfs level, unless you are capable of reading the code,
you are stuck with misinformation. What I feel is that admins are stuck
in the middle. It's a dilemma. You don't want to want to have to burden
the devs with what to them is trivia. As admin, you have your own
trivia: 'I saved it in My Documents but now only Sharon can open it'.
You also need to be able to move forward without guessing: 'What's the
official syntax for /etc/exports with krb5'. Your users get their
answers. From you. Where are we expected to get our answers from!
Cheers,
Steve
