mech(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual mech(4) NAME
mech, qop - security mechanism and quality of protection (QOP) files SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The and files contain tables showing installed security mechanisms and the Quality of Protection (QOP) associated with them, respectively. These files are accessed by GSS-API calls; see gssapi(5). As security mechanisms are installed on the system, entries are added to these two files. Contents of these files may be accessed either manually or programmatically; for example, manually with cat(1) or more(1), or programmati- cally with either rpc_gss_get_mechanisms(3N) or rpc_gss_get_mech_info(3N). /etc/gss/mech The file contains these fields: mechanism name ASCII string representing the mechanism. object identifier OID for this mechanism. shared library Shared library which implements the services provided by this mechanism. kernel module Kernel module which implements the services provided by this mechanism. /etc/gss/qop The file contains these fields: QOP string Name, in ASCII, of this Quality of Protection. QOP value Numeric value by which QOP can be identified. mechanism name ASCII string representing the mechanism with which this QOP is associated. EXAMPLES
