[Bug 925364] Re: rpc.gssd exits immediately

[Steve Langasek]

Hi David,

That's a pretty serious problem, but I can't reproduce it here.  I have
gssd running normally on precise.  Is there any possibility that your
system libraries, or rpc.gssd itself, are corrupted?  (Running 'debsums
-s' should check this.)  I don't see any code paths at all in gssd that
would result in an exit without printing a further error message about
what's going on.

Title:
  rpc.gssd exits immediately

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Release: Precise Pangolin 12.04 Alpha
  Version:  1.2.5-3ubuntu1 (nfs-common)

  Starting rpc.gssd initially appears to launch ok

  root at cisadl-tst:~# status gssd
  gssd stop/waiting
  root at cisadl-tst:~# start gssd
  gssd start/pre-start, process 3624
  root at cisadl-tst:~# status gssd
  gssd stop/waiting
  root at cisadl-tst:~# 

  
  Running rpc.gssd in the foreground manually also seems to exit immediately with status code 1

  root at cisadl-tst:~# rpc.gssd -fvvv ; echo $?
  beginning poll
  1

  Expected behaviour:   rpc.gssd starts and allows Kerberized NFS to work
  Observed behaviour:   rpc.gssd exits immediately and Kerberized NFS fails.

  I have attached the output of strace -f against rpc.gssd if it is of
  any help.
