AUTHNONE_CREATE(3)     FreeBSD Library Functions Manual	    AUTHNONE_CREATE(3)

NAME
     auth_destroy, authnone_create, authunix_create, authunix_create_default,
     set_rpc_maxgrouplist -- library routines for remote procedure calls

SYNOPSIS
     #include <rpc/rpc.h>

     void
     auth_destroy(AUTH *auth);

     AUTH *
     authnone_create(void);

     AUTH *
     authunix_create(char *host, int uid, int gid, int len, int	*aup.gids);

     AUTH *
     authunix_create_default(void);

     void
     set_rpc_maxgrouplist(int num);

DESCRIPTION
     These routines establish authentication information for use by the	RPC
     functions described in rpc(3).

     auth_destroy() is a macro that destroys the authentication	information
     associated	with auth.  Destruction	usually	involves deallocation of pri-
     vate data structures.  The	use of auth is undefined after calling
     auth_destroy().

     authnone_create() creates and returns an RPC authentication handle	that
     passes nonusable authentication information with each remote procedure
     call.  This is the	default	authentication used by RPC.

     authunix_create() creates and returns an RPC authentication handle	that
     contains UNIX authentication information.	The parameter host is the name
     of	the machine on which the information was created; uid is the user's
     user ID; gid is the user's	current	group ID; len and aup_gids refer to a
     counted array of groups to	which the user belongs.	 It is easy to imper-
     sonate a user.

     authunix_create_default() calls authunix_create() with the	appropriate
     parameters.

     set_rpc_maxgrouplist() allows the application to set the maximum size of
     the group list that will be used in authunix_create_default() to num.
     Some servers will refuse mounts if	the group list is larger than it ex-
     pects (like 8).
