NAME

mech, qop– mechanism and QOP files

SYNOPSIS

/etc/gss/mech
/etc/gss/qop

DESCRIPTION

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.
