NAME
       rpc.svcgssd - server-side rpcsec_gss daemon

SYNOPSIS
       rpc.svcgssd [-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  communi-
       cate 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 mul-
              tiple times).

       -p     Use principal instead of the default nfs/host.domain.
