NFS4 and ACLs

Is it possible to use ACLs on a NSF4 filesystem?

The NFS4 server (called aslan) is running FC3 and have the following 
line in /etc/exports:
/home               odin(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,sync)


On the client (called odin) running FC4, I try to mount the share using:
mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049,sec=sys aslan.engborgs.net:/ /mnt

When I mount I get a waring message:
Warning: rpc.gssd appears not to be running.
But I suppose this is unrelated to ACLs and has something to do with me 
not yet running kerberos.
The filesystem seam to be mounted OK though.

I suppose there should be some mount option telling mount to turn on ACLs.
I have tried to use acl just as I would do on an ext3 system but that 
doesn't work.


Any suggestions
