It has been a while but I believe I was told that you had to run aklog
because you were "logging into the storage".  This made sense at the
time since I couldn't access a remote system without first logging into
it as well.  We weren't big users of NFS at the time and this didn't
seem unusual.

I would hazard that rpc.gssd exists because someone didn't want to
alter the "NFS experience".
