The /etc/gss/mech and /etc/gss/qop files
contain tables showing installed security mechanisms and the Quality of Protection (QOP) associated with them, respectively. As security mechanisms are installed on the system, entries are added to these two files. Contents of these files may be accessed either manually (for example, with cat(1) or more(1)) or programmatically (with either rpc_gss_get_mechanisms(3NSL) or rpc_gss_get_mech_info(3NSL)).
The /etc/gss/mech file contains four fields:
-
mechanism name
- ASCII string representing the mechanism.
-
object identifier
- RPC OID for this mechanism.
-
shared library
- Shared library which implements the services provided by this mechanism.
-
kernel module
- Kernel module which implements the services provided by this mechanism.
The /etc/gss/qop file contains three fields:
-
QOP string
- Name, in ASCII, of this Quality of Protection.
-
QOP value
- Numeric value by which RPC identifies this QOP.
-
mechanism name
- ASCII string representing the mechanism with which this QOP is associated.
