[Freeipa-users] Can mount NFS, but user only gets the permission question marks

[Kees Bakker]

Hey,

Maybe one of the NFS users on this list could give me a hint what
could be wrong. I'm not sure if it has any relation with FreeIPA/Kerberos.

I've set up an NFS server and I can mount the NFS directory on my client. So, I'm
guessing that setting up Kerberos principal was done correctly.

However, only root can actually access the mounted contents. Any other user
only sees question marks as shown below.

The mount command is simple.
$ sudo mount -v -t nfs srv1.example.com:/home /nfshome
mount.nfs: timeout set for Tue Feb 21 16:36:39 2017
mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4,addr=172.16.16.45,clientaddr=172.16.16.30'

On the server side /etc/exports looks like this.
/home        *(rw,sync,sec=krb5i,no_subtree_check)

$ sudo mount |grep nfs
srv1.example.com:/home on /nfshome type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=krb5i,clientaddr=172.16.16.30,local_lock=none,addr=172.16.16.45)

$ sudo ls -ld /nfshome
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72 feb 21 04:22 /nfshome
$ sudo ls -l /nfshome
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 keesb  keesb  116 jan 27 12:56 keesb

$ ls -l /nfshome
ls: cannot access '/nfshome': Permission denied
$ ls -l / | grep nfshome
ls: cannot access '/nfshome': Permission denied
d?????????   ? ?    ?       ?            ? nfshome
