I don't remember. It could be, that I only had forgotten to remove it. But
I think the problem was another: if the server sends CREDENTIALS to the client,
the client must have the space for it, or the kernel will reject it. If the
client wish to receive them or not.
I couldn't test it in the moment, my Computers are on the way to Nuernberg,
where I will work next year. So you have to wait 2 weeks, before I have my
network up and running again.

Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
