gssd(1M)

NAME

     gssd - generates and validates GSS-API tokens for kernel RPC

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/lib/gss/gssd

DESCRIPTION

     gssd is the user mode daemon that operates between the  ker-
     nel rpc and the Generic Security Service Application Program
     Interface (GSS-API) to generate and validate  GSS-API  secu-
     rity  tokens.  In  addition, gssd maps the GSS-API principal
     names to the local user  and  group  ids.  By  default,  all
     groups  that  the requested user belongs to will be included
     in the grouplist credential. gssd is invoked by the Internet
     daemon inetd(1m) the first time that the kernel RPC requests
     GSS-API services.
