Yes, that's not sufficient. The client should be able to automatically
"do the right thing". The systems administrator shouldn't have to
specify the authentication flavor to match the server flavor. That
systems administrator should only have to specify when there are
specific requirements for that client.
With this change, autofs would not be able correctly handle mounting
this server via /net. It should be able to, especially since the
server will accept _any_ flavor coming from the client.
And a question, I thought that I looked, and it did not appear that
the kernel supported AUTH_NONE on the client side. Did I miss it?
Thanx...
