Subject: rc4-hmac-md5 mount failure
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 16:56:51 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTikRJad_vR1qxL1Wr4AO0OfP32oCYj4X0cTnVwv+@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I apologize I have posted an incomplete problem/solution and possibly
to the wrong thread.

Problem: linux client mounting linux server using rc4-hmac-md5
enctype. gssd fails with create a context after receiving a reply from
the server.

Diagnose: putting printout statements in the server kernel and
kerberos libraries revealed that client and server derived different
integrity keys.

Server kernel code was at fault due the the commit

Solution: if this commit is undone, rc4-based mount works without
issues. verified with linux and windows clients.
