NAME
       mech, qop -- GSS-API Mechanism and QOP files

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  /etc/gss/mech  file	 contains a list of installed GSS-API security
       mechanisms.  Each line of the file either contains  a  comment  if  the
       first  character	 is  '#' or it contains	five fields with the following
       meanings:

       Name    The name	of this	GSS-API	mechanism.

       Object identifier
	       The OID for this	mechanism.

       Library
	       A shared	library	containing the implementation of  this	mecha-
	       nism.

       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 op-
	       tions 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 fol-
       lowing meanings:

       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.

EXAMPLES
       This is a typical entry from /etc/gss/mech:

       kerberosv5      1.2.840.113554.1.2.2    /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.8    -

       This is a typical entry from /etc/gss/qop:

       GSS_KRB5_CONF_C_QOP_DES	       0x0100  kerberosv5
