List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hello, we are experiencing the authentication problems with NFS root under Linux which were discussed on this list earlier (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=105369226100008&r=1&w=2). The patch suggested by Trond in http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-nfs&m=105390025122641&w=2 looks pretty straightforward. Moreover, it appears that trying to mount the filesystem with RPC_AUTH_NULL actually violates the NFSv3 spec (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1813.html#sec-5.0). Can the above mentioned patch have any adverse effects? If no, is there any reason why it did not become part of either the mainline kernel or the patch collection at http://www.fys.uio.no/%7Etrondmy/src/ ?
