Machine and Services involved
Outline

This experiment with NFS and Kerberos uses at least three machines: a Kerberos server, an NFS server, and an NFS client. Both the NFS server and the NFS clients are kerberos clients. For the servers, we use Debian Lenny ('stable' as of this writing). The clients are supposed to become desktop machines later, so we put Ubuntu Lucid on them, the latest LTS version.

The Kerberos server is going to run the KDC as well as the kadmind.

The NFS server is going to use nfs-kernel-server. Both the NFS server and NFS client are going to run gssd and idmapd.
