NAME

       key.dns_resolver - Upcall for request-key to handle dns_resolver keys

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/key.dns_resolver <key>
       /sbin/key.dns_resolver -D [-v] [-v] <keydesc> <calloutinfo>

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  is  invoked by request-key on behalf of the kernel when kernel services (such as NFS, CIFS
       and AFS) want to perform a hostname lookup and the kernel does not  have  the  key  cached.   It  is  not
       ordinarily intended to be called directly.

       It  can  be  called in debugging mode to test its functionality by passing a -D flag on the command line.
       For this to work, the key description and the callout information must be  supplied.   Verbosity  can  be
       increased by supplying one or more -v flags.

ERRORS

       All errors will be logged to the syslog.
