NAME
       rpc.gssd - rpcsec_gss daemon

SYNOPSIS
       rpc.gssd [-f] [-k keytab] [-p pipefsdir] [-v] [-r] [-d ccachedir]

DESCRIPTION
       The  rpcsec_gss	protocol  gives	 a  means of using the gss-api generic
       security api to provide security for protocols using rpc	 (in  particuā€
       lar,  nfs).   Before  exchanging any rpc requests using rpcsec_gss, the
       rpc client must first establish a security context.  The linux kernel's
       implementation  of  rpcsec_gss depends on the userspace daemon rpc.gssd
       to establish security contexts.	The rpc.gssd daemon uses files in  the
       rpc_pipefs filesystem to communicate with the kernel.

OPTIONS
       -f     Runs  rpc.gssd  in the foreground and sends output to stderr (as
	      opposed to syslogd)

       -k keytab
	      Tells rpc.gssd to use the keys for  principals  nfs/hostname  in
	      keytab  to  obtain  machine  credentials.	  The default value is
	      "/etc/krb5.keytab".

       -p path
	      Tells rpc.gssd where to look for the rpc_pipefs filesystem.  The
	      default value is "/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs".

       -d directory
	      Tells rpc.gssd where to look for kerberos credential files.  The
	      default value is "/tmp".

       -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).

       -t timeout
	      Timeout, in seconds, for kernel gss contexts. This option allows
	      you to force new kernel contexts to be negotiated after  timeout
	      seconds,	which  allows changing Kerberos tickets and identities
	      frequently.  The default is no explicit timeout, which means the
	      kernel  context  will  live the lifetime of the Kerberos service
	      ticket used in its creation.
