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 s Ar dir-list
38.Op Fl c Ar file-substring
39.Op Fl r Ar preferred-realm
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43program provides support for the kernel GSS-API implementation.
44.Pp
45The options are as follows:
46.Bl -tag -width indent
47.It Fl d
48Run in debug mode.
49In this mode,
50.Nm
51will not fork when it starts.
52.It Fl s Ar dir-list
53Look for an appropriate credential cache file in this list of directories.
54The list should be full pathnames from root, separated by ':' characters.
55Usually this list will simply be "/tmp".
56Without this option,
57.Nm
58assumes that the credential cache file is called /tmp/krb5cc_<uid>,
59where <uid> is the effective uid for the RPC caller.
60.It Fl c Ar file-substring
61Set a file-substring for the credential cache file names.
62Only files with this substring embedded in their names will be
63selected as candidates when
64.Fl s
65has been specified.
66If not specified, it defaults to "krb5cc_".
67.It Fl r Ar preferred-realm
68Use Kerberos credentials for this realm when searching for
69credentials in directories specified with
70.Fl s .
71If not specified, the default Kerberos realm will be used.
72.El
73.Sh FILES
74.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/krb5.keytab" -compact
75.It Pa /etc/krb5.keytab
76Contains Kerberos service principals which may be used as credentials
77by kernel GSS-API services.
