Bug Description

Binary package hint: nfs-common

I use Dapper on server and i want to use NFSv4/krb5. I found that server ignore auxiliary groups. Only UID and primary GID. The same bug is reported here: http://linux-nfs.org/pipermail/nfsv4/2006-May/004256.html

Probably problem is in svcgssd_proc.c:
------
    /*XXX: want add_supplementary_groups(secname, sname, cred)? */
    cred->cr_ngroups = 0;
-------

I think that new version (Edgy Eft) has resolved this bug.

I also found some patches, maybe not for this version:
http://linux-nfs.org/pipermail/nfsv4/2005-August/002412.html

Is it posible to use nfs-common from EdgyEft in Dapper or is here any other way to solve this bug in Dapper?

Thanks.

I don't think getting a backport in dapper is possible, but yes, you can run the version in Edgy (or newer). I'm doing that quite happily.

..although you maybe need to recompile it and the dependancies (libgssapi et al), otherwise it might not install at all.

After recompiling packages from Feisty on Dapper, auxiliary groups begin to work.

Thanks for hint :)
