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.
