From: NeilBrown <neil@xxxxxxxxxx> When use_ipaddr is not in effect, an auth_unix_ip lookup request from the kernel for an unknown client will be rejected. When it IS in effect, these requests are always granted with the IP address being mapped to a string form of the address, preceded by a '$'. This is inconsistent behaviour and could present a small information leak. It means that, for example, a SETCLIENT NFSv4 request may or may not succeed depending on an internal setting in rpc.mountd. This is easily rectified by always checking if the client is known.
