            Bug ID: 295714
           Summary: NFS server will hang if kgssapi.ko is loaded and the
                    gssd daemon is not running
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rmacklem@FreeBSD.org

If the kgssapi.ko is loaded in the system
and the gssd daemon is not running, the NFS
server will hang during startup trying to
do an upcall to the gssd.

The workaround is either "don't load the
kgssapi.ko" or run the gssd. (The rest of
Kerberos doesn't need to be working, but
the gssd daemon does need to be running.)

I am working on a patch.
