gssd ignores -d when creating machine credential cache

[Vince Busam]

Even when configured with -d to write credentials in another directory, gssd will still put machine credentials in /tmp.

To get your fix included in Ubuntu, it would help if you tried transforming it into a debdiff (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff) and submit it for review (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess). If you prefer somebody else to do that, that's fine - please just indicate if you're available to do that.

Attached is a debdiff of Vince Busam's patch.

This is relatively easy to fix. Will this fix be incorporated in the Hardy release?
