If you set SECURE_NFS="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/nfs and do a service rpcgssd start then you get the error Starting RPC gssd: can't open libgssapi_krb5.so: libgssapi_krb5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory rpc.gssd: Unable to obtain list of supported mechanisms. Check that gss library is properly configured. rpc.gssd: Problem with gssapi library if the krb5-devel package isn't installed, as for some reason it tries to open the /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so library from krb5-devel rather than the /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 or /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2.2 from krb5-libs. This seems wrong to me, and either nfs_utils should depend only on krb5-libs or the nfs_utils package should require the krb5-devel one.
Yes... I see your point... Starting RPC gssd: can't open libgssapi_krb5.so: libgssapi_krb5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory rpc.gssd: Unable to obtain list of supported mechanisms. Check that gss library is properly configured. rpc.gssd: Problem with gssapi library But I'm not clear on what I should do... Nalin, any ideas?
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This seems to be fixed in Fedora 11.
