Hi Steve, This is Ubuntu TRusty LTS, with nfs-utils-1.2.8 version. I finally get it working .

Rpc.gssd looks up for HOSTNAME$@ principal for whatever it finds in /etc/hostname;

If I used short name in /etc/hostname, it broke dyndns in SSSD ( in my case nsupdate send record with "shortname." - didn't work.

SHORTNAME$@ principal with fqdn in /etc/hostname and UPN=host/fqdn@ didn't work as well.

I am actually waiting for SSSD updates in my distro - we have still 1.11.5;

Entirely down to your distro and the nfs-utils package AFAIK. Setting it up with a UPN nfs/fqdn@ princ is probably the one that'll work in more cases than any other.
