Authentication...
At the Connectathon in February, we got as far as setting up a working test machine for the RPCSEC_GSS kerberos V5 authentication on the NFS and RPC clients. AFAIK, Andy is currently working on adding support for SPKM auth. and data encryption.
I'm not sure exactly which ciphers we need for all this (Andy can perhaps comment?) but we'd definitely want to see part of the crypto patches go into the standard kernel at some point soon.
