Hello Steve, we use a two-node cluster (pacemaker, corosync, drbd) as nfs-server. We configured a virtual cluster-IP (using ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2, iptables CLUSTERIP), i.e. the nfs clients call the server as OurClusterIP.OurDomain.de while the real hostnames of the servers are OurServer1.OurDomain.de and OurServer2.OurDomain.de. If I tried to use the mount option krb5, svcgssd denied the mount with the message: ERROR: GSS-API: error in handle_nullreq: gss_accept_sec_context(): Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information - Wrong principal in request I patched svcgssd that we can specify the principal to use as an option: svcgssd -p nfs/OurClusterIP.OurDomain.de Signed-off-by: Eberhard Kuemmerle <E.Kuemmerle@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Here comes the code patch: ************************************************** diff -rupN nfs-utils-1.2.1/utils/gssd/gssd.h nfs-utils-1.2.1_mod/utils/gssd/gssd.h --- nfs-utils-1.2.1/utils/gssd/gssd.h 2009-11-04 12:13:56.000000000 +0100 +++ nfs-utils-1.2.1_mod/utils/gssd/gssd.h 2010-09-27 08:25:31.000000000 +0200 @@ -90,7 +90,6 @@ void init_client_list(void); int update_client_list(void); void handle_krb5_upcall(struct clnt_info *clp); void handle_spkm3_upcall(struct clnt_info *clp); -int gssd_acquire_cred(char *server_name); void gssd_run(void); diff -rupN nfs-utils-1.2.1/utils/gssd/gss_util.c nfs-utils-1.2.1_mod/utils/gssd/gss_util.c --- nfs-utils-1.2.1/utils/gssd/gss_util.c 2009-11-04 12:13:56.000000000 +0100 +++ nfs-utils-1.2.1_mod/utils/gssd/gss_util.c 2010-09-27 08:14:47.000000000 +0200 @@ -191,7 +191,7 @@ pgsserr(char *msg, u_int32_t maj_stat, u } int -gssd_acquire_cred(char *server_name) +gssd_acquire_cred(char *server_name, const gss_OID oid) { gss_buffer_desc name; gss_name_t target_name; @@ -203,7 +203,7 @@ gssd_acquire_cred(char *server_name) name.length = strlen(server_name); maj_stat = gss_import_name(&min_stat, &name, - (const gss_OID) GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE, + oid, &target_name); if (maj_stat != GSS_S_COMPLETE) { diff -rupN nfs-utils-1.2.1/utils/gssd/gss_util.h nfs-utils-1.2.1_mod/utils/gssd/gss_util.h --- nfs-utils-1.2.1/utils/gssd/gss_util.h 2009-11-04 12:13:56.000000000 +0100 +++ nfs-utils-1.2.1_mod/utils/gssd/gss_util.h 2010-09-27 08:22:11.000000000 +0200 @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ extern gss_cred_id_t gssd_creds; -int gssd_acquire_cred(char *server_name); +int gssd_acquire_cred(char *server_name, const gss_OID oid); void pgsserr(char *msg, u_int32_t maj_stat, u_int32_t min_stat, const gss_OID mech); int gssd_check_mechs(void); diff -rupN nfs-utils-1.2.1/utils/gssd/svcgssd.c nfs-utils-1.2.1_mod/utils/gssd/svcgssd.c --- nfs-utils-1.2.1/utils/gssd/svcgssd.c 2009-11-04 12:13:56.000000000 +0100 +++ nfs-utils-1.2.1_mod/utils/gssd/svcgssd.c 2010-09-27 15:48:47.000000000 +0200 @@ -167,7 +167,7 @@ sig_hup(int signal) static void usage(char *progname) { - fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s [-n] [-f] [-v] [-r] [-i]\n", + fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s [-n] [-f] [-v] [-r] [-i] [-P principal]\n", progname); exit(1); } @@ -183,8 +183,9 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) int opt; extern char *optarg; char *progname; + char *principal = NULL; - while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv, "fivrnp:")) != -1) { + while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv, "fivrnP:")) != -1) { switch (opt) { case 'f': fg = 1; @@ -201,6 +202,9 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) case 'r': rpc_verbosity++; break; + case 'P': + principal = optarg; + break; default: usage(argv[0]); break; @@ -244,7 +248,9 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) signal(SIGTERM, sig_die); signal(SIGHUP, sig_hup); - if (get_creds && !gssd_acquire_cred(GSSD_SERVICE_NAME)) { + if (get_creds && !(principal + ? gssd_acquire_cred(principal, GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME) + : gssd_acquire_cred(GSSD_SERVICE_NAME, GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE))) { printerr(0, "unable to obtain root (machine) credentials\n"); printerr(0, "do you have a keytab entry for " "nfs/<your.host>@<YOUR.REALM> in " ************************************************** And here is the man page patch.
