Questions:
How can I implement secureRPC for NFS between Solaris 7 and FreeBSD 3.4?
How do I use NFS with secureRPC as a FreeBSD client connecting
to a Solaris server?
I want users to use 'keylogin' to establish their "publickeys",
and use this to establish secureRPC connections to Solaris servers
from freeBSD clients.
Also,
how do I serve NFS with secureRPC from FreeBSD?
I have seen the "-kerb" option for Kerberos but nothing for secureRPC.
Kerberos is not based the "publickey" database.
Solaris supports four types of secureRPC services on NFS exports:
From the "share_nfs" man page (Solaris 7):
sec=mode[:mode]...
Sharing will use one or more of the
specified security modes. The mode in
the sec=mode option must be a mode name
supported on the client.
[...]
The security modes are defined in nfssec(5).
[also...]
secure This option has been deprecated in favor
of the sec=dh option.
Does FreeBSD support the "secure" (Diffie-Hellmen) mode?
This seems to be the "classic" Sun secureRPC mechanism.
From the "nfssec(5)" man page (Solaris 7):
The mount_nfs(1M) and share_nfs(1M) commands each provide a
way to specify the security mode to be used on an NFS file
system through the sec=mode option. mode can be either
sys, dh, krb4, or none.
If the NFS connection uses the NFS Version 3 protocol, the NFS clients
must query the server for the appropriate mode to use.
[...]
NFS clients may force the use of a specific
security mode by specifying the sec=mode option on the com-
mand line. However, if the file system on the server is not
shared with that security mode, the client may be denied
access.
Background:
FreeBSD secureRPC documentation is sparse.
On the FreeBSD side I reviewed:
rpc_secure(3)
mount_nfs(8)
mountd(8)
exports(5)
The Handbook and FAQ
I found the the -kerb option in exports.
I don't know if this uses the "publickey" NIS database -- I doubt it.
