Kerberos module

The Kerberos module is a kernel extension used by the NFS client and server code. It allows the NFS client and server code to process Kerberos message integrity and privacy functions without making calls to the gss daemon.

The Kerberos module is loaded by the gss daemon. The methods used are based on Network Authentication Service version 1.2, which is, in turn, based on MIT Kerberos.

The location of the Kerberos module is: /usr/lib/drivers/krb5.ext.

For related information, see the gss daemon.
