Rick, I am try to play with NFSv4 and Kerberos and see lack of
documentation. For example, nowhere documented that access to NFSv4
mount do by NFSv3 rules. I.e. I need have /etc/exports with TWO lines:

V4: /NFS    -sec=krb5i
/NFS    -sec=krb5i

W/o second lines I got 10020 error (for NFSv4 mount).

What current status Kerberos support in NFS client/server? I found
many posts and wiki pages about lack some functionality, but also see
many works from you.

Can you give some examples for kerberoized setup, with support cron
jobs?
