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 h
38.Op Fl v
39.Op Fl s Ar dir-list
40.Op Fl c Ar file-substring
41.Op Fl r Ar preferred-realm
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45program provides support for the kernel GSS-API implementation.
46.Pp
47The options are as follows:
48.Bl -tag -width indent
49.It Fl d
50Run in debug mode.
51In this mode,
52.Nm
53will not fork when it starts.
54.It Fl h
55Enable support for host-based initiator credentials.
56This permits a kerberized NFS mount to use a service principal in
57the default Kerberos 5 keytab file for access.
58Such access is enabled via the
59gssname
60option for the
61.Xr mount_nfs 8
62command.
63.It Fl v
64Run in verbose mode.
65In this mode,
66.Nm
67will log activity messages to syslog using LOG_INFO | LOG_DAEMON or to
68stderr, if the
69.Fl d
70option has also been specified.
71The minor status is logged as a decimal number, since it is actually a
72Kerberos return status, which is signed.
73.It Fl s Ar dir-list
74Look for an appropriate credential cache file in this list of directories.
75The list should be full pathnames from root, separated by ':' characters.
76Usually this list will simply be "/tmp".
77Without this option,
78.Nm
79assumes that the credential cache file is called /tmp/krb5cc_<uid>,
80where <uid> is the effective uid for the RPC caller.
81.It Fl c Ar file-substring
82Set a file-substring for the credential cache file names.
83Only files with this substring embedded in their names will be
84selected as candidates when
85.Fl s
86has been specified.
87If not specified, it defaults to "krb5cc_".
88.It Fl r Ar preferred-realm
89Use Kerberos credentials for this realm when searching for
90credentials in directories specified with
91.Fl s .
92If not specified, the default Kerberos realm will be used.
93.El
94.Sh FILES
95.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/krb5.keytab" -compact
96.It Pa /etc/krb5.keytab
97Contains Kerberos service principals which may be used as credentials
98by kernel GSS-API services.
99.El
