The final result will should be able to cross mountpoints using a different form of security and auto-detect the security of an initial NFS v4 mount. v4: - Properly set the number of security flavors decoded by the client - Return an int rather than an rpc_authflavor_t for better error checking v3: - Check for server returning too many security flavors - Check for gss_oid_len > max_gss_oid_len - New functions in namespace.c should be static v2: - Add more details about the call_sync improvement - Don't initialize global constant function pointers to NULL Bryan
