From cdabee2bb45f51f49a0c7148fe5b761d1c13658c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Allison Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:27:05 -0700 Subject: This patchset comprises a number of cleanups for the cifs upcall binary. The biggest change is that it renames it from cifs.spnego to cifs.upcall since the cifs.spnego name really isn't applicable anymore. It also fixes a segfault when the program is run without any args and adds a manpage. Comments and/or suggestions appreciated. This set should apply cleanly to the 3.3 test branch.

This requres that request-key be told where and how to call this program. The current cifs.upcall program handles two different key types: + + + + cifs.spnego + This keytype is for retrieving kerberos session keys + + + + + cifs.resolve + This key type is for resolving hostnames into IP addresses + + + + + To make this program useful for CIFS, you'll need to set up entries for them in request-key.conf5.
