Is it missing something ? Whoops, sorry, wasn't paying attention. So, yes, if you look at the "Remote Procedure Call"->"Credentials" on the next-to-last packet (#25), you'll see that it's sending the CREATE with AUTH_NULL credentials field. So the create's going to be done with nfsnobody credentials, and won't succeed unless it's in a world-writeable directory. The mount reply (packet #10) is listing the flavors as: AUTH_NULL, AUTH_UNIX, RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5, RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5I, RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5P in that order. The client may just be choosing the first? I seem to recall a couple bugs in this area that were fixed recently, but can't find those now. --b.
