NFSD not seeing gssd

I am attempting to setup NFSv3/4 with Kerberos authentication.

I have got this setup working on one server however when reproducing this setup on a second server it seems to fail.

I get the following in the messages log:

Code: 
nfsd[746]: No gssd, using AUTH_SYS only

This is despite the fact gssd is definitely running.

Code: 
[root@bank /var/log]# ps uax | grep gssd
root               727  0.0  0.1 27916  4696  ??  Ss   11:49AM   0:00.01 /usr/sbin/gssd

This box was upgraded from 7.1->7.2->8.0-RELEASE and then used a custom kernel from 8.0-STABLE branch to solve a ZFS issue.

I thought the issue could be that I kept the 8-RELEASE world while using a 8-STABLE kernel however I performing a installworld on the 8-STABLE and the problem persists.

I cannot see any other errors in the logs and running gssd -d from the command line produces nothing.

I would really prefer not to have to format the machine and start again, as everything else is working perfectly.

Any help would be much appreciated!
 
BUGS
If nfsd is started when gssd(8) is not running, it will service AUTH_SYS requests only. To fix the problem you must kill nfsd and then restart it, after the gssd(8) is running.

See nfsd(8).
 
Thanks for the reply SirDice.

I have seen that bug and gssd is most definitely running before I start nfsd. I can cycle them as follows:

Code: 
[root@bank /usr/sbin]# /etc/rc.d/nfsd stop
Stopping nfsd.
[root@bank /usr/sbin]# ps aux | grep nfsd
root           11747  0.0  0.0  9092  1428   2  S+    1:32PM   0:00.00 grep nfsd
[root@bank /usr/sbin]# /etc/rc.d/gssd restart
Stopping gssd.
Starting gssd.
[root@bank /usr/sbin]# /etc/rc.d/nfsd start
Starting nfsd.
[root@bank ~]# tail /var/log/messages | grep AUTH_SYS
May 25 13:36:52 bank nfsd[746]: No gssd, using AUTH_SYS only
