29.Dt GSSD 8
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm gssd
33.Nd "Generic Security Services Daemon"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm
36.Op Fl d
37.Op Fl v
38.Op Fl s Ar dir-list
39.Op Fl c Ar file-substring
40.Op Fl r Ar preferred-realm
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44program provides support for the kernel GSS-API implementation.
45.Pp
46The options are as follows:
47.Bl -tag -width indent
48.It Fl d
49Run in debug mode.
50In this mode,
51.Nm
52will not fork when it starts.
53.It Fl v
54Run in verbose mode.
55In this mode,
56.Nm
57will log activity messages to syslog using LOG_INFO | LOG_DAEMON or to
58stderr, if the
59.Fl d
60option has also been specified.
61The minor status is logged as a decimal number, since it is actually a
62Kerberos return status, which is signed.
63.It Fl s Ar dir-list
64Look for an appropriate credential cache file in this list of directories.
65The list should be full pathnames from root, separated by ':' characters.
66Usually this list will simply be "/tmp".
67Without this option,
68.Nm
69assumes that the credential cache file is called /tmp/krb5cc_<uid>,
70where <uid> is the effective uid for the RPC caller.
71.It Fl c Ar file-substring
72Set a file-substring for the credential cache file names.
73Only files with this substring embedded in their names will be
74selected as candidates when
75.Fl s
76has been specified.
77If not specified, it defaults to "krb5cc_".
78.It Fl r Ar preferred-realm
79Use Kerberos credentials for this realm when searching for
80credentials in directories specified with
81.Fl s .
82If not specified, the default Kerberos realm will be used.
83.El
84.Sh FILES
85.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/krb5.keytab" -compact
86.It Pa /etc/krb5.keytab
87Contains Kerberos service principals which may be used as credentials
88by kernel GSS-API services.
