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_Guide/s2-nfs-how-daemons.html

"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?
