How can I find why 'rpc.gssd' starts every time? I have SLES 12 and I saw that every time I reboot my computer, the process `rpc.gssd` (which is Kerberos) starts by itself. I've tried to disable it using `systemctl` but there's no such a service. All I can see is a PID. pgrep rpc.gssd How can I dig and find which service triggers that one? Or how can I disable it permanently?

Try:


systemctl status PID


You should see something like this:


$ systemctl status 16736
salt-master.service - The Salt Master Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/salt-master.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

16744 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/salt-master

systemctl(1) says:
