Kerberized NFS Linux client?

This is really a follow-up to my recent query about configuring an
Kerberos 5 client of a Solaris KDC server.

Many thanks to those who responded. I can live without having kadmin
available on the Linux clients.

My ultimate aim though was to enable Kerberised NFS. I have set this up on
the Solaris SEAM KDC server, and on a Solaris client, and it works fine.

However I can't get it to work on the Linux client. I get "permissions
denied" messages on the client side. On the server I get RPC error "Can't
authenticate - too weak" from the snoop output.

I understand that Solaris Kerberised NFS uses RPSEC_GSS, and this doesn't
seem to be supported on the Linux version I have (Red Hat 7.1, Kernel
version 2.4).

Does anyone know if there is a Kerberized NFS client available for Linux
which would enable this to work?

Alternatively, would a possible/better solution be to install MIT Kerberos
5 in preference to SEAM on the Solaris server?

Apologies for the naive questions - I'm new to Kerberos.

 Thanks
