Hi Geza, hi everyone
A bit of progress:
Yes, the /mnt dir got the nfs ticket when I issued the mount command. 
Also, authenticated Samba 4 users can enter /mnt but only if they do a 
kinit first. IOW they have to authenticate twice. Once in his home 
folder (now under /mnt) he only has read access to his files.
klist looks OK:
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_3000020
Default principal: steve5 at HH3.SITE
Valid starting     Expires            Service principal
01/28/12 11:57:35  01/28/12 21:57:35  krbtgt/HH3.SITE at HH3.SITE
     renew until 01/29/12 11:57:29
01/28/12 11:57:40  01/28/12 21:57:35  nfs/hh3.hh3.site at HH3.SITE
     renew until 01/29/12 11:57:29

I think I'd need root_squash to prevent root no? But no worries. Just 
trying to get nfs write access for a user.

The Kerberos seems to be working in that a local user gets 'Pemission 
denied when trying to cd to /mnt and gets this when ls'ing:

d?????????   ? ?    ?        ?            ? mnt

A doubly authenticated Samba 4 user gets:
drwxr-xr-x   5 root root  4096 Dec 23 00:15 mnt
but no write access to his nfs mounted home folder.

Why is the double authentication needed?
How can we get rw access to the share?
Thanks,
Steve
