Subject: [nfs-utils PATCH v4] systemd: add instructions for disabling gssd to nfs.systemd.man
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2017 16:24:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170720202422.14153-1-smayhew@redhat.com> (raw)

We've had several users complain about gssd automatically starting.  Not
everyone who has a krb5.keytab want to use secure NFS; the instructions
for disabling gssd ought to be on the man page in addition to the README
(which may not even be included in a distro's nfs-utils package).
