New libtirpc vs fedfs-utils.

Hi Chuck / Steve,

It seems that fedfs-utils doesn't build with the new libtirpc.

Specifically fedfsd requires symbols

  svcauth_gss_set_svc_name
  svcauth_gss_get_principal

but libtirpc doesn't expose them any longer - it never included them in .h
files or provided documentation.

As far as I can tell fedfs-utils really does need these interfaces, there is
no alternate.
Would it be appropriate to make them "official" with header and doco support?

A simple hack is:

--- libtirpc-0.3.0.orig/src/libtirpc.map
+++ libtirpc-0.3.0/src/libtirpc.map
@@ -284,4 +284,6 @@ TIRPC_PRIVATE {
     __libc_clntudp_bufcreate;
   # private, but used by rpcbind:
     __svc_clean_idle; svc_auth_none; libtirpc_set_debug;
+  # private, but used by fedfsd:
+   svcauth_gss_set_svc_name; svcauth_gss_get_principal;
 };


but I suspect something better is really needed.

Are there other server-side routines that need to be exported?

Thanks,
NeilBrown
