After reading this thread, I tried NFSv4 today..

Whenever I tried to mount from a linux client, I get:
 mount -o vers=4 server4:/pool/backup/sites/m /mnt
NFS compound failed for server server4: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
NFS compound failed for server server4: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
NFS compound failed for server server4: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
NFS compound failed for server server4: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
NFS compound failed for server server4: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
NFS compound failed for server server4: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
nfs mount: mount: /mnt: Permission denied

with NFS v3 it mounts just fine

any ideas?
