Looking at the supplied patch, I suspect you either (1) normally run rpc.gssd with "-v", or (2) you are depending on the other part of the original patch that decreases verbosity (copied below). If the latter is true, then shouldn't it be sufficient to only change the error messages from level 0 to level 1 as I've shown below? --- nfs-utils-1.1.2.orig/utils/gssd/err_util.c +++ nfs-utils-1.1.2/utils/gssd/err_util.c @@ -49,6 +49,10 @@ { va_list args; + /* Decrease verbosity so we don't log so much */ + if ((priority - verbosity) > 1) + return; + /* Don't bother formatting a message we're never going to print! */ if (priority > verbosity) return;. --- nfs-utils-1.1.2.orig/utils/gssd/gssd_proc.c +++ nfs-utils-1.1.2/utils/gssd/gssd_proc.c @@ -743,7 +743,7 @@ } if (!authgss_get_private_data(auth, &pd)) { - printerr(0, "WARNING: Failed to obtain authentication " + printerr(1, "WARNING: Failed to obtain authentication " "data for user with uid %d for server %s\n", uid, clp->servername); goto out_return_error; only in patch2: unchanged: --- nfs-utils-1.1.2.orig/utils/gssd/gss_util.c +++ nfs-utils-1.1.2/utils/gssd/gss_util.c @@ -122,7 +122,7 @@ "gss_display_status called from %s\n", m); break; } else { - printerr(0, "ERROR: GSS-API: (%s) error in %s(): %s\n", + printerr(1, "ERROR: GSS-API: (%s) error in %s(): %s\n", typestr, m, (char *)msg.value); } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
