It should probably be a feature request rather than an bug but let's leave it here for now. I think that the only sane way to support / and/or /usr on NFSv4 is to require that they be accessible without any encryption, presumably in a read-only mode. i.e. we would mount / (and /usr) read-only with a "-o uid=0" flag to force all files to appear to be root-owned (thus avoiding the need for idmapd). Then we would have access to gssd etc and count mount a new / and/or /usr read-write with crypto and with idmapd service. This would require a 'uid=' mount option to nfs and possibly other kernel changes. However I think this is beyond the actual original needs which (I think) did not want to mount /usr or / from NFSv4. That was just a boot script ordering problem. It may well be fixed in 11.x. I will try to find time to experiment. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
