NAME

       request-key - Handle key instantiation callback requests from the kernel

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/request-key  <op>  <key>  <uid>  <gid> <threadring> <processring>      <sessionring>
       [<info>]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is invoked by the kernel when the kernel is asked for a key that  it  doesn't
       have  immediately  available. The kernel creates a partially set up key and then calls out
       to this program to instantiate it. It is not intended to be called directly.

ERRORS

       All errors will be logged to the syslog.

FILES

       /etc/request-key.conf Instantiation handler configuration file.

       /etc/request-key.d/<keytype>.conf Keytype specific configuration file.
