Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.0.9-2
Severity: important
I'm trying to get NFSv4 with Kerberos support working. The CITI NFSv4
guide [1] says that you should be running rpc.svcgssd(8) on the server.
However, the Debian package doesn't include this daemon. I begun to
investiage the situation. In version 1:1.0.8-1 changelog it is stated
that
* rpc.svcgssd no longer exists (it's consolidated into rpc.gssd); remove
all references to it in from the debian/ directory.
According to the upstream documentation mentioned above rpc.svcgssd is
indeed needed. When reading the upstream changelog, it says
2006-03-27 Kevin Coffman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Consolidate gssd and svcgssd since they share much code
Remove directory svcgssd which was only created because the old
build system could not handle building two daemons in the same
directory. This eliminates build complications since gssd and
svcgssd also share many source files.
This patch effectively removes the utils/svcgssd directory, moving
all its files to the utils/gssd directory. File utils/gssd/Makefile.am
is modified with directions to build both gssd and svcgssd.
Effectively that says that the layout of source code was refactored, not
that the functionality of svcgssd was integrated to gssd. nfs-utils
1.0.9 still builds and installs svcgssd. So please put rpc.svcgssd back
in the package (and support for it in the init script) so that it's
possible to run Debian NFSv4 server with Kerberos support, thank you.
