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. EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attri- butes: ____________________________________________________________ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | |_____________________________|_____________________________| | Availability | SUNWgssk | |_____________________________|_____________________________| | Interface Stability | Evolving | |_____________________________|_____________________________| SEE ALSO kill(1), pkill(1), svcs(1), inetadm(1M), inetd(1M), gsscred(1M), svcadm(1M), gsscred.conf(4), resolv.conf(4), - attributes(5), smf(5) + attributes(5), smf(5), cpg_change(2), pam_unix_cred(5) RFC 2078 NOTES The following signal has the specified effect when sent to the server process using the kill(1) command: SIGHUP gssd rereads the gsscred.conf(4) options. When one of the mechanisms being used is Kerberos, then the gssd process must be restarted after adding or changing the resolv.conf(4) file. + gssd uses the gss_acquire_cred_with_ucred(3GSS) to obtain + credentials suitable for use with gss_init_sec_context(3GSS). + This means that credentials process group (CPG) information + can be used to select an appropriate GSS-API credential. + + The gssd service is managed by the service management facil- ity, smf(5), under the service identifier: svc:/network/rpc/gss:default Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibility for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view configuration infor- mation for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
