In this mode, .Nm will not fork when it starts. .It Fl h Enable support for host-based initiator credentials. This permits a kerberized NFS mount to use a service principal in the default Kerberos 5 keytab file for access. Such access is enabled via the gssname option for the .Xr mount_nfs 8 command. .It Fl o Force use of DES and the associated old style GSS-API initialization token. This may be required to make kerberized NFS mounts work against some non-FreeBSD NFS servers. .It Fl v Run in verbose mode. In this mode, .Nm will log activity messages to syslog using LOG_INFO | LOG_DAEMON or to stderr, if the .Fl d option has also been specified. The minor status is logged as a decimal number, since it is actually a Kerberos return status, which is signed. .It Fl s Ar dir-list Look for an appropriate credential cache file in this list of directories. The list should be full pathnames from root, separated by ':' characters. Usually this list will simply be "/tmp". Without this option, .Nm assumes that the credential cache file is called /tmp/krb5cc_, where is the effective uid for the RPC caller. .It Fl c Ar file-substring Set a file-substring for the credential cache file names. Only files with this substring embedded in their names will be selected as candidates when .Fl s has been specified. If not specified, it defaults to "krb5cc_". .It Fl r Ar preferred-realm Use Kerberos credentials for this realm when searching for credentials in directories specified with .Fl s . If not specified, the default Kerberos realm will be used. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/krb5.keytab" -compact .It Pa /etc/krb5.keytab Contains Kerberos service principals which may be used as credentials by kernel GSS-API services. .El .Sh EXIT STATUS .Ex -std .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr gssapi 3 , .Xr mount_nfs 8 , .Xr syslog 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm manual page first appeared in .Fx 8.0 . .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Doug Rabson Aq dfr@FreeBSD.org .
