Hi Ben- I'm nearly done with the new text.

Generating per-server keying > material is clearly a minimum requirement. The text was updated at Roman's request. It now reads: Encryption By Default: Transport encryption can be enabled without additional administrative tasks such as identifying client systems to a trust authority and providing each with keying material. Can you confirm this adequately addresses your comment? > Section 4.1 > > The mechanism described in the current document interoperates fully > with RPC implementations that do not support RPC-over-TLS. Policy > settings on the RPC-over-TLS-enabled peer determine whether RPC > > I'd consider joining the two sentences via ", subject to policy settings on > the RPC-over-TLS-enabled peer that determine". The text was updated at some point during IESG review. It now reads: The mechanism described in the current document interoperates fully with RPC implementations that do not support RPC-over-TLS. When an RPC-over-TLS-enabled peer encounters a peer that does not support RPC-over-TLS, policy settings on the RPC-over-TLS-enabled peer determine whether RPC operation continues without the use of TLS, or RPC operation is not permitted.

The reason the TCP and UDP text diverge is because TCP is connection oriented and UDP is not. The current UDP text is the result of some earlier review comments in this area. Let me know if there is a specific change you'd like to see here. Also, I don't understand the last sentence of your comment. Can you elucidate? > Section 8.1 > > Isn't it codepoint squatting to claim auth flavor 7 before IANA has > allocated it? (This is usually a Discuss-level issue, but that part is too > long already so I left it here.) I agree it is slightly improper, but the authors were not aware of IANA's authority over RPC authentication flavors until late in the document's life cycle. It was a good faith oversight. I believe we have IANA's permission at this point to use the value 7. Is there a text change needed here? -- Chuck Lever
