Kerberos + NFSv3 on RHEL6.1

[Vipin Rathor]

Yes, I'm in process of conveying this to RHEL too. Just thought of
putting this in these lists so that people can help me with their
experiences.
FYI, the mail to NFS mailing list bounced :(.  Does anyone know
correct id for NFS mailing list? I used nfs at lists.sourceforge.net .

On server, I've this in /etc/exports:
"/fs0/nfskrb"     *(rw,no_root_squash,sec=krb5)

I can see this export in 'showmount -e <server_IP>' command from client.

On client, I use this command to mount:
mount -t nfs -o sec=krb5 <server_IP>:/fs0/nfskrb /mnt -v

Some more info:
- When I tried to mount from the same server to the same server, the
mount worked.
- When I tried to mount from another RHEL6.1 mc/ to this server
(running RHEL6.1), the mount worked.

Thanks for replying.
