     Library
	     A shared library containing the implementation of this mechanism.

     Kernel module (optional)
	     A kernel module containing the  implementation  of  this  mechanism
	     (not yet supported in FreeBSD).

     Library options (optional)
	     Optionsal	parameters interpreted by the mechanism. Library options
	     must be enclosed in brackets ([ ]) to differentiate them  from  the
	     optional kernel module entry.

     The  /etc/gss/qop	file contains a list of Quality of Protection values for
     use with GSS-API.	Each line of the file either contains a comment  if  the
     first character is '#' or it contains three fields with the following mean-
     ings:

     QOP string
	     The name of this Quality of Protection algorithm.

     QOP value
	     The  numeric  value used to select this algorithm for use with GSS-
	     API functions such as gss_get_mic(3).

     Mechanism name
	     The GSS-API mechanism name that corresponds to this algorithm.
