RPC_CLNT_AUTH(3R)					     RPC_CLNT_AUTH(3R)

NAME
     rpc_clnt_auth: auth_destroy, authnone_create, authunix_create,
     authunix_create_default - Authentication routines of Remote Procedure
     Call (RPC) library

SYNOPSIS AND DESCRIPTION
     This page describe routines from Irix standard C library (libc) which are
     used to modify authentication parameters for Remote Procedure Calls.

     #include <rpc/rpc.h>

     void
     auth_destroy(AUTH *auth)

	  A macro that destroys the authentication information associated with
	  auth.	 Destruction usually involves deallocation of private data
	  structures. The use of auth is undefined after calling
	  auth_destroy().

     AUTH *
     authnone_create(void)

	  Create and returns an RPC authentication handle that passes
	  nonusable authentication information with each remote procedure
	  call. This is the default authentication used by RPC.

     AUTH *
     authunix_create(const char *host, uid_t uid,
	  gid_t gid, int len, gid_t *aup_gids)

	  Create and return an RPC authentication handle that contains UNIX
	  authentication information.  The parameter host is the name of the
	  machine on which the information was created; uid is the user's user
	  ID; gid is the user's current group ID; len and aup_gids refer to a
	  counted array of groups to which the user belongs.  It is easy to
	  impersonate a user.

     AUTH *
     authunix_create_default(void)

	  Call authunix_create() with the appropriate parameters.
