Hi there, please don't hesitate to direct me somewhere else in case this is not the right place to report bugs concerning nfs-utils. I found a bug in nfs-utils concerning the rpc.svcgssd daemon while I was trying to set the principal name in /etc/nfs.conf: [svcgssd] principal=nfs/myhost.mydomain.de@xxxxxxxxxxx However rpc.svcgssd refused to start - complaining about not being able to find the principal in the keytab. When specified on command line (using the -p option) things worked however. So I took a look at the code and found the problem in nfs-utils-2.6.1/utils/gssd/svcgssd.c. The problem seems to be here: /* We don't need the config anymore */ conf_cleanup(); This is called right after parsing the config file(s), but before calling gssd_acquire_cred(). At the time it is called the variable "principal" does no longer contain the data read from the config file. Moving conf_cleanup() to the end of the code helps. As I first encountered this on Ubuntu 22.04 I also opened a Launchpad bug report: s. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1977745 Maybe someone can fix this for the next release. Best regards, Marcel
