HiAll, I have a patch to utils/gssd/krb5_util.c that enables kerberized NFS mounts to succeed even if the principal is not <HOSTNAME>$. It works by reading another principal name from the [appdefaults] section of krb5.conf: [appdefaults] nfs = { ad_principal_name = 129.125.39.115$ } Patch is attached. Would you please incorporate it in the source if you find it useful? Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place. Best Regards Jurjen
