NAME
gssd — generates and validates GSS-API tokens for kernel RPC

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 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.
