SYNOPSIS
gssd |
[-d ] [-h ]
[-o ] [-v ]
[-s dir-list]
[-c file-substring]
[-r preferred-realm] |
DESCRIPTION
Thegssd
program provides support for the kernel GSS-API
implementation.
The options are as follows:
-d
- Run in debug mode. In this mode,
gssd
will not fork when it starts. -h
- Enable support for host-based initiator credentials. This permits a kerberized NFS mount to use a service principal in the default Kerberos 5 keytab file for access. Such access is enabled via the gssname option for the mount_nfs(8) command.
-o
- Force use of DES and the associated old style GSS-API initialization token. This may be required to make kerberized NFS mounts work against some non-FreeBSD NFS servers.
-v
- Run in verbose mode. In this mode,
gssd
will log activity messages to syslog using LOG_INFO | LOG_DAEMON or to stderr, if the-d
option has also been specified. The minor status is logged as a decimal number, since it is actually a Kerberos return status, which is signed. -s
dir-list- Look for an appropriate credential cache file in this list of directories.
The list should be full pathnames from root, separated by ':' characters.
Usually this list will simply be "/tmp". Without this option,
gssd
assumes that the credential cache file is called /tmp/krb5cc_<uid>, where <uid> is the effective uid for the RPC caller. -c
file-substring- Set a file-substring for the credential cache file names. Only files with
this substring embedded in their names will be selected as candidates when
-s
has been specified. If not specified, it defaults to "krb5cc_". -r
preferred-realm- Use Kerberos credentials for this realm when searching for credentials in
directories specified with
-s
. If not specified, the default Kerberos realm will be used.
FILES
- /etc/krb5.keytab
- Contains Kerberos service principals which may be used as credentials by kernel GSS-API services.
EXIT STATUS
The gssd
utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
