gssd — Generate and Validate GSS-API Tokens for Kernel RPC

Synopsis

/usr/lib/gss/gssd

Description

gssd is the user mode daemon that operates between the kernel RPC and the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) to generate and validate GSS-API security 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 are be included in the group-list credential. gssd is invoked by the Internet daemon inetd(1m) the first time that the kernel RPC requests GSS-API services.
