[Bug 1616123] Re: rpc-svcgssd.service uses incorrrect variable SVCGSSDARGS

[Andreas Hasenack]

Ok, this is the path the variable takes:

/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server:
RPCSVCGSSDOPTS

nfs-utils_env.sh: generates the config file sourced by rpc-svcgssd.service:
"export RPCSVCGSSDARGS=$RPCSVCGSSDOPTS" and others into /run/sysconfig/nfs-utils

(note the switch from ...OPTS to ...ARGS)

rpc-svcgssd.service:
sources /run/sysconfig/nfs-utils and runs /usr/sbin/rpc.svcgssd $SVCGSSDARGS

The .service file comes from the upstream tarball, whereas nfs-
utils_env.sh comes from debian.

In bug #1614261 a patch was suggested that exports an additional variable:

 # the following are supported by the systemd units, but not exposed in default files

I believe that is the last intrusive change, and we don't have to worry
about updating config files that users might have changed.
