Have you looked at the libgssapi package at http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/ ? Currently we're just using this for the NFS rpcsec_gss implementation, but we split it out into a separate library thinking it might be used as you describe above. --b. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
