NAME
     gssd - Generic Security Service support daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/gssd

DESCRIPTION
     gssd is an RPC server that is used to support generation and validation
     of Generic Security Service (GSS) tokens for the kernel implementation of
     RPCSEC_GSS authentication mechanism. It is also used to aid translation
     from RPCSEC_GSS principal's names to the local user and group IDs using
     local credentials cache, maintained by gsscred(1M).

     The daemon is started during system initialization from the
     /etc/init.d/network script if the configuration flag nfs and gssd are set
     on.
