ObKerb: Does the NFS V3 code interoperate with the Kerberos support in
the stock 4.4BSD NFS? If not, this might pose a substantial problem for
me. Ick.
Nope, my current code uses AUTH_KERB4 as described by the Internet draft
titled "Authentication in ONC RPC" (or something like that:-). Although
I haven't done it, it wouldn't be all that much work to add AUTH_DES
support as well. (If you need the 4.4BSD way, rolling the old code back
in wouldn't be too difficult either.)
Now, my question is...
What does Sun mean by "secure NFS"? Does it mean it uses AUTH_DES or AUTH_KERB4
or just a reserved port number or ... (I don't have any Suns or other systems
that support this around here, so I can't test against them:-)
Thanks in advance for any info on this one, rick
ps: If the DFS or AFS protocols were published like NFS is, I might be
tempted to volunteer:-)
