| .SH NAME |
| rpc.svcgssd \- server-side rpcsec_gss daemon |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B "rpc.svcgssd [-v] [-r] [-i] [-f] [-p pipefsdir]" |
| .SH 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 |
| .B rpc.svcgssd |
| to handle context establishment on the rpc server. The |
| daemon uses files in the proc filesystem to communicate with |
| the kernel. |
| |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| .B -f |
| Runs |
| .B rpc.svcgssd |
| in the foreground and sends output to stderr (as opposed to syslogd) |
| .TP |
| .B -v |
| Increases the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple times). |
| .TP |
| .B -r |
| If the rpcsec_gss library supports setting debug level, |
| increases the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple times). |
| .TP |
| .B -i |
| If the nfsidmap library supports setting debug level, |
| increases the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple times). |
