Installation

The required packages are different depending on if the system is a client or a server. In this Howto, the server is the host that has the files you want to share and the client is the host that will be mounting the NFS share.

• NFSv4 client

# apt-get install nfs-common 

• NFSv4 server

# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server 

After you finish installing nfs-kernel-server, you might see failure to start nfs-kernel-server due to missing entries in /etc/exports. Remember to restart the service when you finish configuring.

NFSv4 without Kerberos

NFSv4 Server

NFSv4 exports exist in a single pseudo filesystem, where the real directories are mounted with the --bind option. Here is some additional information regarding this fact.

• Let's say we want to export our users' home directories in /home/users. First

we create the export filesystem:

# mkdir /export
# mkdir /export/users 

and mount the real users directory with:

# mount --bind /home/users /export/users

To save us from retyping this after every reboot we add the following line to /etc/fstab

/home/users    /export/users   none    bind  0  0

• In /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server we set:

NEED_SVCGSSD=no 

because we are not activating NFSv4 security this time.

• In /etc/default/nfs-common we set:

NEED_IDMAPD=yes
NEED_GSSD=no 

• To export our directories to a local network 192.198.1.0/24

we add the following two lines to /etc/exports

/export       192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
/export/users 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
 

• Restart the service

# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

NFSv4 Client

• On the client we can mount the complete export tree with one command:

# mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 nfs-server:/ /mnt

• We can also mount an exported subtree with:

# mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 nfs-server:/users /home/users

• To save us from retyping this after every reboot we add the following

line to /etc/fstab:

nfs-server:/   /mnt   nfs4    _netdev,auto  0  0

where the auto option mounts on startup and the _netdev option waits until network devices are loaded.

• If you have a slow network connection and are not establishing mount at reboot, you can change the line in etc/fstab:

nfs-server:/    /mnt   nfs4    noauto  0  0

and execute this mount after a short pause once all devices are loaded. Add the following lines to /etc/rc.local

# sleep 5
# mount /mnt

• If you experience Problems like this:

Warning: rpc.idmapd appears not to be running.
         All uids will be mapped to the nobody uid.
mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfs4'

then you need to set in /etc/default/nfs-common:

NEED_IDMAPD=yes

and restart nfs-common

# /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart

The "unknown Filesystem" Error will disappear as well.

NFSv4 with Kerberos

You need a working Kerberos (MIT or Heimdal) KDC (Key Distribution Center) before continuing. NFS4 and Kerberos work fine with Ubuntu 8.04; they do not seem to work with the (much) older Ubuntu 6.06, or at least I couldn't get Heimdal to work correctly. Please note, that we have three different entities: the Kerberos-server; the NFS-server and the NFS-client. Your Kerberos-server (or KDC) and NFS-server could be the same machine, but they could also very well be separate entities. We will use separate "prompts" to distinguish, i.e. if you see

KDC$ echo "hello"
 

... this means you need to type echo "hello" on the KDC. Please note that you can now (with Ubuntu 8.04 and later) use any encryption type you want, there is no more need to extract only des-cbc-crc, as most sites suggest. See this mailinglist message.

MIT

• On the nfs-server and nfs-client you need at least the krb5-user

and optional libpam-krb5 if you wish to authenticate against krb5.

# apt-get install krb5-user
# apt-get install libpam-krb5 

Heimdal

• On the nfs-server and nfs-client you need heimdal-clients

and optional libpam-krb5 if you wish to authenticate against krb5.

# apt-get install heimdal-clients
# apt-get install libpam-krb5 

• You need the gss kernel modules on nfs-servers and nfs-clients.

# modprobe rpcsec_gss_krb5 

Add rpcsec_gss_krb5 to /etc/modules to have it loaded automatically. (I'm pretty sure they're loaded automatically though).

Create and distribute credentials

NFSv4 needs machine credentials for the server and every client, which wants to use the NFSv4 security features. Create the credentials for the nfs-server and all nfs-clients on the Kerberos KDC and distribute the extraced keys with scp to the destination You can make sure that only this entry has been created by executing "sudo klist -e -k /etc/krb5.keytab".

Heimdal

Authenticate as your admin user. You can do this from any machine in your kerberos-domain, as long as your kadmind is running; then add principals for your server and client machines. Replace "nfs-server.domain" with the fully qualified domain name of the machines. For example, if your server is called "snoopy" and your domain is "office.example.com", you would add a principal named "nfs/snoopy.office.example.com" for the server. Note: kadmin must be run with -l (locally) on the KDC if there is no kadmind. Please be aware of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/heimdal/+bug/309738/

$ kinit kadmin/admin
$ kadmin add -r nfs/nfs-server.domain
$ kadmin add -r nfs/nfs-client.domain

Now add these to the keytab-files on your NFS-server and client. Log in to your NFSserver (as root, because you will need to edit the /etc/krb5.keytab file) and initialize as Kerberos administrator. If your domain is fully kerberized, logging in as root will automatically give you the right access, in which case you don't need to use "kinit" anymore.

NFSserver# kinit kadmin/admin
NFSserver# ktutil get nfs/nfs-server.domain

And add it to the client's keytab file:

NFSclient# kinit kadmin/admin
NFSclient# ktutil get nfs/nfs-client.domain

MIT

The information below is not correct. You don't need the "des-cbc-crc" anymore and copying the key with "scp" is probably not necessary. (Could anyone with MIT knowledge clear this up, please? Valentijn)

# kinit admin/admin

# kadmin -q "addprinc -randkey nfs/nfs-server.domain"
# kadmin -q "ktadd -e des-cbc-crc:normal -k /root/keytab.nfs-server nfs/nfs-server.domain"
# scp -p /root/keytab.nfs-server nfs-server.domain:/etc/krb5.keytab

# kadmin -q "addprinc -randkey nfs/nfs-client.domain"
# kadmin -q "ktadd -e des-cbc-crc:normal -k /root/keytab.nfs-client nfs/nfs-client.domain"
# scp -p /root/keytab.nfs-client nfs-client.domain:/etc/krb5.keytab

# kdestroy 

NFSv4 Server with Kerberos

• Check your machine credentials in /etc/krb5.keytab. Use "ktutil" (MIT) or "ktutil list" (Heimdal)

ktutil:  list
slot KVNO Principal
---- ---- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Heimdal:

# ktutil list

  6  des3-cbc-sha1            nfs/[email protected]
  6  arcfour-hmac-md5         nfs/[email protected]

etcetera (I removed the krb4 entries as you probably won't use them anyway).

   1 nfs/nfs-server.domain@DOMAIN (DES cbc mode with CRC-32)

• In /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server we set:

NEED_SVCGSSD=yes 

• In /etc/default/nfs-common we set:

NEED_IDMAPD=yes 

• To export our directories from the example above to a

local network 192.198.1.0/24 and addt we add the following two lines to /etc/exports

/export       192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure, \
  no_subtree_check,async,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)
/export       gss/krb5(rw,fsid=0,insecure, \
  no_subtree_check,async,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)
/export/users 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure, \
  no_subtree_check,async,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)
/export/users gss/krb5(rw,nohide,insecure, \
  no_subtree_check,async,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534) 

Please note that you can specify allowed hosts only in the any authentication flavor. gss/krb5 flavours are accessible from anywhere, if do not use an additional firewall rules. To export only with secure authentication flavors do not include a host(...) line in /etc/exports To display your exports enter:

# exportfs -v

• In /etc/default/nfs-common we set:

NEED_IDMAPD=yes
NEED_GSSD=yes 

• We can secure mount the complete export tree with:

# mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 nfs-server:/ /mnt

• We can also secure mount an exported subtree with:

# mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 nfs-server:/users /home/users

Troubleshooting

First, take care of proper logging - by default almost nothing is logged. e.g. to enable 3rd level verbose logging for rpc.gssd, append the following to /etc/default/nfs-common:

RPCGSSDOPTS="-vvv"

After restarting nfs-common (/etc/init.d/nfs-common restart) check that the daemon has received new arguments:

ps xuwa | grep grep rpc.gssd
root      9857  0.0  0.4   2496  1220 ?        Ss   02:17   0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.gssd -vvv

Then look for its log output in damon.log:

tail -f /var/log/daemon.log

For the server, you can e.g. raise rpc.svcgssd log level in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server:

RPCSVCGSSDOPTS="-vvv"

Browse the /etc/init.d/nfs-* init scripts to see other variables that you can set in /etc/defaults. If using Kerberos, enable logging in /etc/krb5.conf:

[logging]
     kdc = SYSLOG:INFO:DAEMON
     admin_server = SYSLOG:INFO:DAEMON
     default = SYSLOG:INFO:DAEMON
