From 6a19275ada9137435da58990c8f8d3f58e170bf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 17:16:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] RPC: [PATCH] improve rpcauthauth_create error returns Currently we return -ENOMEM for every single failure to create a new auth. This is actually accurate for auth_null and auth_unix, but for auth_gss it's a bit confusing. Allow rpcauth_create (and the ->create methods) to return errors. With this patch, the user may sometimes see an EINVAL instead. Whee. Signed-off-by: J.
