change which versions of NFS get mounted. I haven't had to change anything else in that file.
I don't believe SECURE_NFS does anything; at least, it's not mentioned in /etc/init.d/nfs anywhere, and it's not in the nfsd man page.
It is in the /etc/sysconfig/nfs file, so it does not necessarily need to be in the /etc/init.d/nfs. It is supposed to handle authentication and you are having authentication problems, right?.
I do not have your version of centos running but "SECURE_NFS" is not listed in /etc/init.d/nfs, it IS in /etc/rpcgssd and /etc/init.d/rpcvsgssd in centos 5.2, I'm betting that it is somewhat the same on your system.
From Redhat documentation:
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/en-US/Reference...
"pc.svcgssd — This process is used by the NFS server to perform user authentication and is started only when SECURE_NFS=yes is set in the /etc/sysconfig/nfs file."
"rpc.gssd — This process is used by the NFS server to perform user authentication and is started only when SECURE_NFS=yes is set in the /etc/sysconfig/nfs file."
Notice that both of these talk about authentication, which is the problem you are having, right?
