NAME
rpc.svcgssd - server-side rpcsec_gss daemon
SYNOPSIS
rpc.svcgssd [-v] [-r] [-i] [-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 particular, 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).
- -i
-
If the nfsidmap library supports setting debug level,
