Sure, although I don't use systemd myself, I'll have to trust it's correct.
What script did you have to add 'auth_rpcgss' to?
It should be automatically be loaded when the sunrpc
module is loaded.
/etc/init.d/rpc.svcgssd (on Gentoo).
Looking into it, looks like sunrpc is included & loaded from the
initramfs that Gentoo's 'genkernel' creates (for root nfs setups) but
not the auth_rpcgss or rpcsec_gss_krb5 modules. Which makes some sense,
since i can't think of an easy way to do a krb5 root fs with a generic
initramfs. Kind of a chicken-egg issue with getting kerberos initialized.
I suppose the other option is to allow svcgssd to startup and wait for
that file to appear. I already have patches that convert it to use
libevent so that shouldn't be too much work to add.
