/etc/gss/mech File

The /etc/gss/mech file lists the mechanisms that are available. /etc/gss/mech contains the names in both the numerical format and the alphabetic form. /etc/gss/mech presents the information in this format:

• Mechanism name, in ASCII

• Mechanism's OID

• Shared library for implementing the services that are provided by this mechanism

• Optionally, the kernel module for implementing the service

A sample /etc/gss/mech might look like Example C–1.
