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.
CONFIGURATION FILE
Some of the options that can be set on the command line can also be
controlled through values set in the
[svcgssd]
section of the
/etc/nfs.conf
configuration file. Values recognized include:
- principal
-
If set to
system
this is equivalent to the
-n
option. If set to any other value, that is used like the
-p
option.
- verbosity
-
Value which is equivalent to the number of
-v.
- rpc-verbosity
-
Value which is equivalent to the number of
-r.
- idmap-verbosity
-
Value which is equivalent to the number of
-i.
