[Bug 708172] [NEW] service libvirt-bin start does not set KRB5_KTNAME as required

[Thomas Schweikle]

Public bug reported:

Set KRB5_KTNAME in /etc/default/libvirt-bin, start libvirt-bin, wonder
why the server logs "Key entry not found in keytab"....

Notice /etc/default/libvirt-bin installed, but not used any more.

Add "export KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/libvirt/krb5.keytab" right before the exec-
line in /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf. Wonder why the server logs "Key
entry not found in keytab" --- it's a problem from upstart: it ignores
variables set within /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf??

The only way out:
create a new script holding all necessary things to set up libvirtd correctly:

#! /bin/bash

export KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/libvirt/krb5.keytab
/usr/sbin/libvirtd -d --listen

Make it executable, then call it from the original file.
