NAME
rpc.gssd - rpcsec_gss daemon
SYNOPSIS
rpc.gssd [-f] [-k keytab] [-p pipefsdir] [-v]
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. The linux kernel’s implementation of rpcsec_gss depends on the userspace
daemon rpc.gssd to establish security contexts. The rpc.gssd daemon uses files in
the rpc_pipefs filesystem to communicate with the kernel.
OPTIONS
-f Runs rpc.gssd in the foreground and sends output to stderr (as opposed to
syslogd)
-k keytab
Tells rpc.gssd to use the keys for principals nfs/hostname in keytab to
obtain machine credentials. The default value is "/etc/krb5.keytab".
-p path
Tells rpc.gssd where to look for the rpc_pipefs filesystem. The default
value is "/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs".
-v Increases the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple times).
