Client authentication question

[Kevin Coffman]

What version of nfs-utils do you have?  In nfs-utils-1.1.0,  any
usable keytab entry will be used rather than insisting on matching the
hostname.

See the release notes:

https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=507588

Does that address your concern?
