From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: Chapter 9. Network File System - has inaccurate information Chapter 9.1 Paragraph 1 - Kerberos Security is not just an NFSv4 feature. Kerberos can be used with all version of NFS. - RHEL4 uses NFS version 3 by default not version 4. Chapter 9.1 Paragraph 4 - "Kerberos user and group authentication with various security levels is optionally available" really does not make much sense and again, krb5 auth is done by RPC not NFS so its available from all versions. Chapter 9.1 1st Warning box - Is not true and should be removed. Chapter 9.1.1 rpc.svcgssd and rpc.gssd descriptions - Should say something like: rpc.svcgssd - This process is used by the NFS server to do user authentication and is only started when SECURE_NFS=yes in /etc/sysconfig/nfs rpc.gssd - This process is used by the NFS client to do user authentication and is only started when SECURE_NFS=yes in /etc/sysconfig/nfs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.click on https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/ch-nfs.html 2. 3.
