At least on my distro (CentOS 5), that man page is extremely terse.

What do you mean by sys permission?  Do you mean the old, pre-NFSv4
style of IP-only "authentication"?

That sounds like something I'd like.  As I mentioned in my previous
post, we want strict controls on mounting, and encrypted data streams.
 But beyond that, we trust the users an admins on the client machines.

It doesn't seem to be the case, at least not for me.  CentOS 5 for
client machines, and CentOS 6 for the server.  Maybe this is my
problem?  Some subtle incompatibility between versions?
