A deadlock can occur when accessing NFS home directories when $HOME is unmodified as Kerberos routines will attempt to access $HOME, but will be inaccessible due to a lack of a Kerberos ticket. It would then check for the existence of $HOME/.k5identity, but could not access the file due to not having a TGT. The issue was originally reported in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1052902 This patch allows for user control of this behavior granting users who do not have Kerberized home directories access to their .k5identity file. This addresses the following bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1868087 Jacob Shivers (1): gssd: Add options to rpc.gssd to allow for the use of $HOME/.k5identity files nfs.conf | 1 + systemd/nfs.conf.man | 3 ++- utils/gssd/gssd.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++-------- utils/gssd/gssd.man | 19 ++++++++++++++++++- 4 files changed, 41 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) -- 2.29.2
