Does this involve mixing the type of authentication: BSD, BSDTCP, KRB5, (do other types exist? ) Are your Linux systems all using the same type of authentication? What does a Windows client have to use?
I’m having similar problems when my Linux nodes are down, because some of them are using different types of authentication from the older nodes. I don’t know if the problem would go away if all nodes were at modern BSDTCP or KRB5 , but right now, my older BSD-only nodes choke if a newer node is offline. I too went to 3.3.6 and found no relief. I’ve gotten sidetracked from trying to fix the code myself.
