| Description |
|
The original GSS support in Lustre was implemented using a patched version of the equivalent NFS tool from nfs-utils, eventually being forked and copied into lustre source tree. Since, 2 new tools were added that replaced it: lsvcgssd and a linux keyring support with lgss_keyring. (my understanding so far).
What's sure is that lgssd is not more used for a while, code has been touched since 2008, and in the actual source tree, there is even not a way to build it. As Kerberos support is improved recently, let's get rid of this old code which is making harder to maintain GSS code. |
