NAME

6       rpc.svcgssd - server-side rpcsec_gss daemon

SYNOPSIS

9       rpc.svcgssd [-n] [-v] [-r] [-i] [-f] [-p principal]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  rpcsec_gss  protocol  gives  a  means of using the gss-api generic
13       security api to provide security for protocols using rpc  (in  particu‐
14       lar,  nfs).   Before  exchanging any rpc requests using rpcsec_gss, the
15       rpc client must first establish a security context with the rpc server.
16       The   linux  kernel's  implementation  of  rpcsec_gss  depends  on  the
17       userspace daemon rpc.svcgssd to handle context establishment on the rpc
18       server.   The  daemon  uses files in the proc filesystem to communicate
19       with the kernel.

OPTIONS

23       -f     Runs rpc.svcgssd in the foreground and sends  output  to  stderr
24              (as opposed to syslogd)
25
26       -v     Increases the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple
27              times).
28
29       -r     If  the  rpcsec_gss  library  supports  setting   debug   level,
30              increases the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple
31              times).
32
33       -i     If the nfsidmap library supports setting debug level,  increases
34              the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple times).
35
36       -p     Use principal instead of the default nfs/FQDN@REALM.
37
38       -n     Use the system default credentials (host/FQDN@REALM) rather than
39              the default nfs/FQDN@REALM.
