This is from memory (you would know better, I guess; I don't have Solaris
source) but I thought the DH scheme, although configured in the GSS
mechanism switch, just told RPC to use the old DH RPC authentication
flavour, rather than encapsulating it in a GSS mechanism.

Interesting. Where can I find this?

See http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/.

Although, there is support for RPCSEC_GSS in the lukeh-RPCSEC_GSS branch
of the NetInfo project of Apple's Darwin repository, for all you NetInfo
fans :-)
