Subject: linux-image: on nfs4 server: RPC: AUTH_GSS upcall timed out Please check user daemon is running

Hello Linux-NFS folks--

I've got an nfs4 server running linux kernel 3.1.1 with nfs-utils 1.2.4.

When an NFSv4 client connects to the server using sec=krb5p, the kernel
emits:

[ 3505.754807] RPC: AUTH_GSS upcall timed out.
[ 3505.754810] Please check user daemon is running.

It's true, i don't have rpc.gssd running on the server (though i do have
rpc.svcgssd running).

But the client can go ahead and mount the filesystem anyway, and users
with the appropriate krb5 credentials on the clients can access files on
the server based on their credentials.

So it's not clear to me what this warning is about.   Should i be
running rpc.gssd on the nfs server?  If so, what functionality am i
losing out on by not running it?  If i don't need to run it, why is the
kernel emitting this message?

       --dkg
