>Description:
NFS V3 supports security modes including secureRPC.
FreeBSD also supports secureRPC, see kerserv(8), publickey(5),
keylogin(1), rpc_secure(3).  There is no documentation in
mount_nfs(8), mountd(8), or exports(5) that supports secureRPC.
How can I connect to an NFS server using secureRPC?
>How-To-Repeat:
Do a man on the various man pages and try to mount an NFS filesystem
that is exported (from Solaris) with "sec=dh" or "-o secure"
(secureRPC).
>Fix:
If secureRPC is supported in NFS, enhance the documentation.
If not, then this is a feature request that secureRPC be added
to both NFS client and server code.

Fix: 

If secureRPC is supported in NFS, enhance the documentation.
If not, then this is a feature request that secureRPC be added
to both NFS client and server code.
How-To-Repeat: Do a man on the various man pages and try to mount an NFS filesystem
that is exported (from Solaris) with "sec=dh" or "-o secure"
(secureRPC).

State Changed
From-To: open->suspended


It doesn't appear FreeBSD supports secureRPC over NFSv3.  So this 
PR is a request for it to be added.  Awaiting fix and committer.

For bugs matching the following conditions:

Do
- Set Status to "Open"

Over to maintainer (we should probably close this as WONTFIX as SecureRPC is using obsolete encryption methods, etc.).

To secure NFS these days, either Kerberized mounts and/or
NFS-over-TLS should be used.
