Public bug reported:
Tested on:
Ubuntu 22.04 (x86_64)
Package: nfs-kernel-server 1:2.6.1-1ubuntu1
Set config options in /etc/nfs.conf are ignored by rpc.svcgssd (required
for krb5 NFSv4).
I was trying to set the principal name like:
[svcgssd]
principal=nfs/myhost.mydomain...@mydomain.de
but rpc.svcgssd refused to start. When specified on command line (using
the -p option) things started working.
After having a look at the code (nfs-utils-2.6.1/utils/gssd/svcgssd.c),
the problem seems to be
/* We don't need the config anymore */
conf_cleanup();
which is called too early. So at the point where gssd_acquire_cred() is
called the variable "principal" does no longer contain the data read
from the config file.
Moving conf_cleanup() to the end of the code helps.
I also tried to get into contact with the nfs-utils developer themselves
- but I hope someone at Ubuntu has a better way to contact them.
