rpc.svcgssd(8) System Manager's Manual rpc.svcgssd(8)
NAME
rpc.svcgssd - server-side rpcsec_gss daemon
SYNOPSIS
rpc.svcgssd [-n] [-v] [-r] [-i] [-f] [-p principal]
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 sys-
logd)
-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, increases the verbosity of
the output (can be specified multiple times).
-p Use principal instead of the default nfs/FQDN@REALM.
-n Use the system default credentials (host/FQDN@REALM) rather than the default
nfs/FQDN@REALM.
CONFIGURATION FILE
Some of the options that can be set on the command line can also be controlled through
values set in the [svcgssd] section of the /etc/nfs.conf configuration file. Values rec-
ognized include:
principal
If set to system this is equivalent to the -n option. If set to any other value,
that is used like the -p option.
verbosity
Value which is equivalent to the number of -v.
rpc-verbosity
Value which is equivalent to the number of -r.
idmap-verbosity
Value which is equivalent to the number of -i.
