Description Ondrej 2014-02-20 12:44:56 UTC
Description of problem:
When using AD based KDC for secure NFS, rpc.gssd uses "hostname$" prinicpal in keytab. However, in case we use FQDN hostname, this assumption fails as AD always uses short (netbios) names for the machine UPN.

Ideally, we should generate netbios name using the hostname (i.e. truncate long hostnames), but the following approach is good enough for now - it handles FQDN hostnames:
