We're at the point now with the NFSv4 project that we'd like to publish
the user daemons that are necessary to support the existing client in
the 2.6.0 kernel.

Would it make sense to add these to the existing nfs-utils package?


There are basically 2 daemons required on the client side:

  - Idmapper resolves NFSv4 over-the-wire names into uids/gids that can
be understood by the kernel.

  - rpc.gssd sets up RPCSEC_GSS sessions to allow secure RPC negotiation
between the client and server. Initial support is for Kerberos 5, but
SPKM3 is in the pipeline too.

Both these two daemons have equivalents on the server side (but I'll
leave it to CITI/Neil to work out who wants to take responsability for
publishing those).

Cheers,
  Trond
