From: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> The "keytab" specification in "qemu.sasl" only makes sense if "gssapi" is selected in "mech_list". Even if the latter is not done (ie. "gssapi" is not selected), the cyrus-sasl library tries to open the specified keytab file, although nothing has a use for it outside the gssapi backend.
Since the default keytab file "/etc/qemu/krb5.tab" is usually absent, the cyrus-sasl library emits a warning to syslog at startup, which tends to annoy users (who didn't ask for gssapi in the first place). Comment out the keytab specification per default. "qemu-doc.texi" already correctly explains how to use "mech_list: gssapi" together with "keytab:".
