Test
This was not originaly a test. When setting up a Kerberised NFSv4 configuration, I note the client's administrator does not need any valid ticket to mount a remote filesystem
After asking the developpers, this was done by design to help development. However, I will pubish soon a method to disable this behaviour.
Conclusion
Beaware!
