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
