Description Haibin Wang 2005-02-24 20:10:57 UTC

Description of problem:

rpc.svcgssd failed to start, complaining unable to open a file at:

/proc/net/rpc/auth.rpcsec.init/channel

Indeed it happened cause the module rpcsec_gss_krb5 isn't loaded
automatically by gssd script when NFS starts. 

This is first mentioned by Chuck Level at NFSv4 mailing list. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.0.6-39 to 1.0.6.48

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1./usr/sbin/rpc.svcgssd -f -v
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Unable to open file
/proc/net/rpc/auth.rpcsec.init/channel

Additional info:

I reported a similiar bug under 149579 for Enterprise 4 Beta under a
different name. Cause I was unable to shift it to Enterprise standard
version, as I also learned from Chuck Lever's post on NFSv4 mailing
list that this is reproducable for NFS3, I think this may be a
universial problem for all nfs-util package. 

A suggested fix would be:

When SECURE_NFS="yes" is indicated in /etc/sysconfig/nfs
then modprobe rpcsec_gss_krb5 automatically in init.d/rpc(svc)gssd
scripts.
