+.SH NAME
+rpc.svcgssd \- server-side rpcsec_gss daemon
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "rpc.svcgssd [-v] [-f] [-p pipefsdir]"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+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 kernel's
+implementation of rpcsec_gss depends on the userspace daemon
+.B rpc.svcgssd
+to handle context establishment on the rpc server.  The
+daemon uses files in the proc filesystem to communicate with
+the kernel.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B -f
+Runs
+.B rpc.svcgssd
+in the foreground and sends output to stderr (as opposed to syslogd)
+.TP
+.B -v
+Increases the verbosity of the output (can be specified multiple times).
