Ok, I'll test the above case. It definitely should be fixed.

No idea. The Mac OS X client works ok with the automounter. The main
issue I'm aware of is that, if you are automounting home directories,
then the "kinit" has to happen before any access attempt to the home
dir. occurs during the login sequence. (I've never tried to automount
on either FreeBSD nor Linux.)

Have fun, rick
ps: The nfsv4 at linux-nfs.org mailing list is a good place to ask, if
     you run into Linux client issues.
