rpc.svcgssd(8)
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, increases
- the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple times).
- -n Do not search for nfs/<your.host>@<YOUR.REALM> at start up, but
- instead accept requests for any key in the keytab file. Useful for HA clusters where the NFS service hostname is different from the node hostname.
