Subject: [PATCH] services: Add svcgssd-service-type.
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2025 23:37:11 +0200

This service is required to get NFS with Kerberos support working.  No
documentation is provided, since this module is under-documented as a whole.
It could use some work.

* gnu/services/nfs.scm (<svcgssd-configuration>): New record type.
(svcgssd-service-type): New service type.
(nfs-service-type): Extend the svcgssd-service-type.
