35.Pa "/etc/gss/qop"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Pa "/etc/gss/mech"
39file contains a list of installed GSS-API security mechanisms.
40Each line of the file either contains a comment if the first character
41is '#' or it contains five fields with the following meanings:
42.Bl -tag
43.It Name
44The name of this GSS-API mechanism.
45.It Object identifier
46The OID for this mechanism.
47.It Library
48A shared library containing the implementation of this mechanism.
49.It Kernel module (optional)
50A kernel module containing the implementation of this mechanism (not
51yet supported in FreeBSD).
52.It Library options (optional)
53Optionsal parameters interpreted by the mechanism. Library options
54must be enclosed in brackets ([ ]) to differentiate them from the
55optional kernel module entry.
56.El
57.Pp
58The
59.Pa "/etc/gss/qop"
60file contains a list of Quality of Protection values for use with
61GSS-API.
62Each line of the file either contains a comment if the first character
63is '#' or it contains three fields with the following meanings:
64.Bl -tag
65.It QOP string
66The name of this Quality of Protection algorithm.

68The numeric value used to select this algorithm for use with GSS-API
69functions such as
70.Xr gss_get_mic 3 .
71.It Mechanism name
72The GSS-API mechanism name that corresponds to this algorithm.
