svcgssd - Unix, Linux Command

---

NAME

rpc.svcgssd - server-side rpcsec_gss daemon

SYNOPSIS

rpc.svcgssd [-v] [-r] [-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

Tag	Description
-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).
