Bug Description
Release: Precise Pangolin 12.04 Alpha
Version: 1.2.5-3ubuntu1 (nfs-common)
Starting rpc.gssd initially appears to launch ok
root@cisadl-tst:~# status gssd
gssd stop/waiting
root@cisadl-tst:~# start gssd
gssd start/pre-start, process 3624
root@cisadl-tst:~# status gssd
gssd stop/waiting
root@cisadl-tst:~#
Running rpc.gssd in the foreground manually also seems to exit immediately with status code 1
root@cisadl-tst:~# rpc.gssd -fvvv ; echo $?
beginning poll
1
Expected behaviour: rpc.gssd starts and allows Kerberized NFS to work
Observed behaviour: rpc.gssd exits immediately and Kerberized NFS fails.
I have attached the output of strace -f against rpc.gssd if it is of any help.

Hi David,
That's a pretty serious problem, but I can't reproduce it here. I have gssd running normally on precise. Is there any possibility that your system libraries, or rpc.gssd itself, are corrupted? (Running 'debsums -s' should check this.) I don't see any code paths at all in gssd that would result in an exit without printing a further error message about what's going on.
