This is a bandaid. I have a series of patches that actually implement the correct behavior, but that may not quite be ready for 3.4. --b. commit 2f026867c76171d26f003b211063ff0562097d5e Author: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 28 14:18:16 2012 -0400 nfsd4: use auth_unix unconditionally on backchannel This isn't actually correct, but it works with the Linux client, and agrees with the behavior we used to have before commit 80fc015bdfe. Later patches will implement the spec-mandated behavior (which is to use the security parameters explicitly given by the client in create_session or backchannel_ctl). Signed-off-by: J.
