<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This tool is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
<para>cifs.upcall is a userspace helper program for the linux CIFS client
filesystem. There are a number of activities that the kernel cannot easily
do itself. This program is a callout program that does these things for the
kernel and then returns the result.</para>
<para>cifs.upcall is generally intended to be run when the kernel calls
request-key<manvolnum>8</manvolnum> for a particular key type. While it
can be run directly from the command-line, it's not generally intended
to be run that way.</para>

<title>CONFIGURATION FOR KEYCTL</title>
<para>cifs.upcall is designed to be called from the kernel via the request-key callout program. This requres that request-key be told where and how to call this program. The current cifs.upcall program handles two different key types:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>cifs.spnego</term>
<listitem><para>This keytype is for retrieving kerberos session keys
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>dns_resolver</term>
<listitem><para>This key type is for resolving hostnames into IP addresses
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>To make this program useful for CIFS, you'll need to set up entries for them in request-key.conf<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>. Here's an example of an entry for each key type:</para>
<programlisting>
#OPERATION TYPE D C PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2...
#========= ============= = = ==========================================
create cifs.spnego * * /usr/local/sbin/cifs.upcall -c %k
create dns_resolver * * /usr/local/sbin/cifs.upcall %k
</programlisting>
<para>
See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>request-key.conf<manvolnum>5</manvolnum></refentrytitle></citerefentry> for more info on each field.
