Description Enrico Scholz 2014-01-18 00:46:17 UTC
Description of problem:

Removing GSSAPI credentials on logout causes severe system because Fedora 20 uses persistent GSSAPI keys.  These keys are shared between sessions so exiting one session will remove unrelated GSSAPI credentials of other sessions.  This renders the system unusable because e.g. access to NFS4 blocks or login tasks fail.

The GSSAPICleanupCredentials must be set to no hence.

Things worked well in previous Fedora versions because persistent GSSAPI keys were not used there.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

openssh-6.4p1-3.fc20.x86_64

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2014-01-30 18:20:06 UTC
Perhaps there should be proper reference counting on the shared persistent keys done by the kerberos library. However until this is implemented setting 'GSSAPICleanupCredentials no' is a reasonable workaround.
