Subject: Any way to allow setuid daemon to access krb5 automounted nfs directories?
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:44:25 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5061DF69.8030606@cora.nwra.com> (raw)

Is there any way to allow setuid daemon to access krb5 automounted nfs 
directories?  Specifically I'm looking to run spamassassin's spamd on a remote 
server and access user's home directories via krb5 nfs4.  spamd changes user 
to the user receiving the email being processes and needs to modify files in 
the user's home directory.  Is there any reasonably secure way to give this 
daemon the ability to do this?  Any way to tell rpc.gssd to use a specific 
credential cache for this type of access rather than the default for that 
effective uid?
