Hello, I'm repeating my last month request. Who is responsible for Heimdal/Kerberos or GSSAPI/NFS in FreeBSD? I got a working NFSv3/Kerberos over UDP for EL6 nfs clients, but suddenly I'm experiencing NFS I/O errors on high load/small files, which I think are due to the buggy/old heimdal in FreeBSD. NFS+Kerberos with EL6 over TCP is broken anyway. Attila

Send a PR. See http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html for more information. -- Thanks and best regards, Chris Nehren -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I do a fair amount of work (all volunteer for $0.00) on the NFS parts, but others do good work on this part of the source tree as well. The GASSAPI/Kerberos code in the kernel RPC is largely tangential to the NFS code, although the NFS code makes use of it. I am not aware of anyone currently doing work on the Heimdal/Kerberos code, but if I'm wrong on this, hopefully someone will correct me.> I got a working NFSv3/Kerberos over UDP for EL6 nfs clients, but > suddenly I'm experiencing NFS I/O errors on high load/small files, > which > I think are due to the buggy/old heimdal in FreeBSD. >If you have the time/expertise to come up with good patches for the code and are willing to donate these to the project, I'd suggest you either post the patches or attach them to a bug report. Please remember that almost all work on FreeBSD is done by volunteers in their spare time, rick.> NFS+Kerberos with EL6 over TCP is broken anyway. > > Attila > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"

In the checkin message he mentioned the possibility of bringing in an even newer version soon. While that doesn't amount to official responsibility for the package, there is a certain degree of "you touched it, you own it" in play, perhaps. :) -- Ian
