Hi group,

Sorry for posting that to the -dev list but freebsd-questions didn't
help me at all (no reply), Google is clueless & comp.protocols.nfs
couldn't help either.

I try to figure out which options I should pass to mount_nfs when I want
to use Kerberos authentication instead of the classic sys permission.

In some man pages of V4 I find an option -K, I can't find
anything like this on my 6 or 7 series versions however.

I found out how to do it on MacOS:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306694

Interestingly mount_nfs on MacOS does show the 'sec=...' option in the
manpage and it does state it's a BSD manpage so I'm really confused
because I can't find the 'sec=...' option on any of my FreeBSD systems
here (4.x, 6.x & 7.0)

So I tried adding -4 as option hoping that it will use krb security if
provided, if I try adding that option I get:

# mount_nfs -4 freezer:/vol/something /mnt/freezer/
mount_nfs: /mnt/freezer, : Operation not supported

- -3 works, the manpage does show -4 as an option but in the synopsis it
is missing.

So am I wrong or is BSD wrong this time? :-D

Adrian
