I used Kerberos with NFS successfully at my last job. Any process/user id accessing NFS mounts using Kerberos authentication must have a valid Kerberos ticket, root included.

Okay.  Thank you for confirming what I suspected but was still doubting.

I believe that root should have access as the system's keytab has host/$FQDN and nfs/$FQDN principals. Root also has a ticket granting ticket, krbtgt/$REALM. At least I think that means that root has vlaid Kerberos tickets.

The no_root_squash option is no longer relevant when Kerberos authentication is used, as you surmise.

ACK

You can address this by getting a machine ticket that root can use.

That's my current working understanding. But, apparently I'm not getting something correct. :-(

Thank you for the reply Craig.
