The list of security flavors that mountd allows for the NFSv4 pseudo-fs is constructed from the union of flavors of all current exports. exports(5) documents that the default security flavor for an export, if "sec=" is not specified, is "sys". Suppose /etc/exports contains: /a *(rw) /b *(rw,sec=krb5:krb5i:krb5p) The resulting security flavor list for the pseudo-fs is missing "sec=sys". /proc/net/rpc/nfsd.export/content contains: /a *(rw,root_squash,sync,wdelay,no_subtree_check, uuid=095c95bc:08e4407a:91ab8601:05fe0bbf) /b *(rw,root_squash,sync,wdelay,no_subtree_check, uuid=2a6fe811:0cf044a7:8fc75ebe:65180068, sec=390003:390004:390005) / *(ro,root_squash,sync,no_wdelay,v4root,fsid=0, uuid=2a6fe811:0cf044a7:8fc75ebe:65180068, sec=390003:390004:390005) The root entry is not correct, as there does exist an export whose unspecified default security flavor is "sys". The security settings on the root cause sec=sys mount attempts to be incorrectly rejected. The reason is that when the line in /etc/exports for "/a" is parsed, the e_secinfo list for that exportent is left empty. Thus the union of e_secinfo lists created by set_pseudofs_security() is "krb5:krb5i:krb5p". I fixed this by ensuring that if no "sec=" option is specified for an export, its e_secinfo list gets at least an entry for AUTH_UNIX. [ Yes, we could make the security flavors allowed for the pseudo-fs a fixed list of all flavors the server supports. That becomes complicated by the special meaning of AUTH_NULL, and we still have to check /etc/exports for whether Kerberos flavors should be listed. I opted for a simple approach for now. ] Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> --- support/nfs/exports.c | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/support/nfs/exports.c b/support/nfs/exports.c index 84a2b08..6c08a2b 100644 --- a/support/nfs/exports.c +++ b/support/nfs/exports.c @@ -643,6 +643,8 @@ bad_option: cp++; } + if (ep->e_secinfo[0].flav == NULL) + secinfo_addflavor(find_flavor("sys"), ep); fix_pseudoflavor_flags(ep); ep->e_squids = squids; ep->e_sqgids = sqgids; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
