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.
