Hello.

Quote from 2006 article:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/systems/library/es-nfs-security/index.html#N100AF

In a few years, NFS Version 4 implementations will start claiming
support for the public key-based security mechanism (SPKM and LIPKEY).


My question:

1. Is LIPKEY already implemented in some NFS4 implementation?
Particularly, I am interested using it on Debian Linux.
2. I could not manage to find a how-to on using LIPKEY, e.g. where to
store the public key and certificates, where to configure
username/password for client authentication. Is there one existing?
