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 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).

       -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.
