The rpcsec_gss protocol gives a means of using the gss-api generic security
api to provide security for protocols using rpc (in particular, nfs). Before
exchanging any rpc requests using rpcsec_gss, the rpc client must first
establish a security context with the rpc server. The linux kernels
implementation of rpcsec_gss depends on the userspace daemon
rpc.svcgssd to handle context establishment on the rpc server. The
daemon uses files in the proc filesystem to communicate with
the kernel.
