Hello,
Nico seems to have come up with a reasonable solution for this
problem we just need to sit down and draw up a document for it.
Apparently he already created a mechanism in rpcsec_gss for allowing you
to bind the rpc session to more than just the normal credentials. Once
we finalize this and get it into a draft we will work on implementing it
in the rpcsec_gss auth flavor.

Dave
