So you meant to say." I cant do anything other than watch the log growing in size !!"
NO. I meant to say:

Edit the config file, change the log file to another different name.
Send SIGHUP to the process when you are logged in as root.
truncate the old big file.

NAME
gssproxy - GssProxy Daemon SYNOPSIS
gssproxy [options] DESCRIPTION
gssproxy provides a daemon to manage access to GSSAPI credentials. gssproxy consists of the gssproxy daemon (configured by the gssproxy.conf(5) file) and a GSSAPI interposer plugin (gssproxy-mech(8)). OPTIONS
-D,--daemon Become a daemon after starting up. -i,--interactive Run in the foreground, don't become a daemon. -c,--config Specify a non-default config file. The default is /etc/gssproxy/gssproxy.conf. For reference on the config file syntax and options, consult the gssproxy.conf(5) manual page. -d,--debug Turn on debugging. --version Print version number and exit. SIGNALS
SIGTERM/SIGINT Informs the GssProxy to gracefully terminate all of its child processes and then shut down. SIGHUP Tells the GssProxy to stop writing to its current debug file descriptors and to close and reopen them. This is meant to facilitate log rolling with programs like logrotate. SEE ALSO
gssproxy.conf(5) and gssproxy-mech(8). AUTHORS
