man: Update nfs(5) and rpc.gssd(8) discussion of keytab needs
Because of the <anyname> wildcard feature in rpc.gssd, it's possible for a customer to deploy the same keytab on many of her NFSv4 clients to reduce the overhead of keytab distribution. However, the practice of sharing the same service principal amongst NFSv4 clients brings with it some hazards. Add documentation of those exposures in our man pages. The rpc.gssd(8) changes: - Remove some needless redundancy - Clarify the definition of "machine credentials" - Update the use of <anyname> to explicitly not recommend sharing service principals The nfs(5) changes add two things: - A brief discussion of the primary security exposure of sharing service principals - A mention of the nfs4.nfs_unique_id module parameter Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com>
