            "content": "The  rpcsecgss  protocol  gives a means of using the gss-api generic security api to provide\nsecurity for protocols using rpc (in particular, nfs).  Before exchanging  any  rpc  requests\nusing rpcsecgss, the rpc client must first establish a security context with the rpc server.\nThe  linux  kernel's implementation of rpcsecgss depends on the userspace daemon rpc.svcgssd\nto handle context establishment on the rpc  server.   The  daemon  uses  files  in  the  proc\nfilesystem to communicate with the kernel.\n\n",
