lockd and pg_authenticate in 2.6.10

lockd and pg_authenticate in 2.6.10

[Olaf Kirch]

Hi,

I remember one of the reasons why pg_authenticate was introduced
were the problems with lockd callbacks. But in 2.6.10 I cannot see
lockd using it at all; only the NFSv4 code does.
Am I missing something?

Olaf

pg_authenticate has only ever been used for NFSv4 callbacks.  I
submitted a series of patches that replace pg_authenticate by a more
fine-grained callback:

which work for me, but I haven't heard anything positive or
negative from anyone else.--b.
