[Bug 1023051] Re: gssd ignores RPCGSSDOPTS and GSSDOPTS in /etc/default/nfs-common , no documented alternative is available on Xenial

[Russell Jones]

/etc/systemd/system/rpc-gssd.service ("systemctl edit --full rpc-
gssd.service") worked, but /etc/systemd/system/rpc-
gssd.service.d/override.conf ("systemctl edit --full rpc-gssd.service")
did not. This seems like a separate bug-- or perhaps there are
restrictions on the override.conf file? The "edit" section in "man
systemctl" makes it seem that it just needs to contain the changed line
and a section heading.

Do you know how override.conf should work? It's not entirely clear what
can be overridden and what can't from "Example 2. Overriding vendor
settings" in "man systemd.unit". It seems to say that one can override
(rather than just supplement) the settings in the system *.service file,
but this doesn't seem to work, and the examples only show added values.
Is this a documentation bug in systemd.unit(5), a bug in systemd, or a
bug in the Ubuntu repackaging of systemd? (Or am I just missing
something?)

  gssd ignores RPCGSSDOPTS and GSSDOPTS in /etc/default/nfs-common , no

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Hi,

  transition of nfs-common SYSV init start script to upstart does not
  fully honor /etc/default/nfs-common settings. RPCGSSDOPTS is not
  passed as arguments to rpc.gssd daemon. It used to work with SYSV init
  start script.

  my nfs-common version is  1:1.2.6-2ubuntu1 (amd64), Ubuntu quantal,
  but it is present also in 12.04 version.
