rpc.svcgssd - server-side rpcsec_gss daemon
SYNOPSIS
rpc.svcgssd [-v] [-r] [-f] [-p pipefsdir]
DESCRIPTION
The rpcsec_gss protocol gives a means of using the gss-api generic
security api to provide security for protocols using rpc (in particuā
lar, nfs). Before exchanging any rpc requests using rpcsec_gss, the
rpc client must first establish a security context with the rpc server.
The linux kernel's implementation of rpcsec_gss depends on the
userspace daemon rpc.svcgssd to handle context establishment on the rpc
server. The daemon uses files in the proc filesystem to communicate
with the kernel.
OPTIONS-f Runs rpc.svcgssd in the foreground and sends output to stderr
(as opposed to syslogd)
-v Increases the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple
times).
-r If the rpcsec_gss library supports setting debug level,
increases the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple
times).
