How to Add a Single Entry to the Credential Table

This procedure requires that the gsscred table has already been installed on the NFS server.

1. Become superuser on a NFS server.

2. Add an entry to the table using gsscred.

   # gsscred -m [mech] -n [name] -u [uid] -a

   mech	The security mechanism to be used.
   name	The principal name for the user, as defined in the KDC.
   uid	The UID for the user, as defined in the password database.
   -a	Adds the UID to principal name mapping.

Example--Changing a Single Entry to the Credential Table

The following example adds an entry for the user named sandy, which is mapped to UID 3736. The UID is pulled from the password file, if it is not included on the command line.

# gsscred -m kerberos_v5 -n sandy -u 3736 -a
