Re: can not start NFSv4 with Kerberos 5

[Phillip <phuang@plasmon.cn>]

Andy,

Thanks for you kindly reply.

As your comment:
nfs/<your.host>@<YOUR.REALM>
and I google the following:
host/hostname@NT-DNS-REALM-NAME

hostname is the host DNS name, for example, foobar.microsoft.com.
NT-DNS-REALM-NAME is the uppercase name of the Windows 2000 domain; for
example, RESKIT.COM.

I have two questions:
1. What does the above term "host" mean? Hostname of NFS server, or
service(nfs)?
2. If I set the IP address in the above "<your.host>" field, is it OK?
How could I set the DNS name since I could not operate on the DNS
server?

Call me a piggy, but this is just where I am: I'm here for real.

Regards,
Phillip
