Hello,
I'm about to setup a Linux based fileserver for home directories and a
couple of Linux clients with kerberos and NFS4 (no NFS3 for security
reasons).
The whole stuff is currently based on debian stable (with a backported
current NFS userland 1.2.5) and a recent vanilla kernel (3.5.2).
So far I have the NFS4 Server up and running as well as a couple of clients
with NFS4+autofs mounted home directories.
All this stuff mostly works now, but unfortunately I ran into some strange
bahaviour now.
When I ssh from one machine to another the system hangs (a delay of up to 60
seconds) while running xauth.
Replacing xauth by a wrapper script I have been able to trace this behaviour
to a hang of an unlink("/home/<user>/.Xauthority") system call.
So the question is what cases hangs in NFS4 based Linux systems in general
an in this particular case?
No, the question is why did X put that file in your home directory. That's
not where it belongs. I've got this in my .xinitrc:
setenv XAUTHORITY /tmp/Xauthority`id -u`
