Description Simo Sorce 2012-01-26 15:57:19 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #784908 +++

rpc.gssd is supposed to link against the libgssglue librray so that rpc.gssd becomes independent from the specific gssapi implementation.

Libgssglue uses the /etc/gssapi_mech.conf file to detemine what gssapi to dlopen() and use. By default it loads libgssapi_krb5.so which is provided by the MIT krb5 packages.

rpc.gssd do link agains libgssglue.so, unfortunately it also links against libgssapi_krb5.so

These 2 library export the same symbols so results are unpredictable if libgssglue is configured to use a different library.

rpc.gssd should not link against libgssapi_krb5 directly and let libgssglue.so load it dynamically at startup.
