NAME

cifs.upcall - Userspace upcall helper for Common Internet File System (CIFS)

SYNOPSIS

cifs.upcall [−c] [−v] {keyid}

DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

cifs.upcall is a userspace helper program for the linux CIFS client filesystem. There are a number of activities that the kernel cannot easily do itself. This program is a callout program that does these things for the kernel and then returns the result.

cifs.upcall is generally intended to be run when the kernel calls request−key(8) for a particular key type. While it can be run directly from the command−line, it´s not generally intended to be run that way.

OPTIONS

−c

When handling a kerberos upcall, use a service principal that starts with "cifs/". The default is to use the "host/" service principal.

−v

Print version number and exit.

CONFIGURATION FOR KEYCTL

cifs.upcall is designed to be called from the kernel via the request−key callout program. This requres that request−key be told where and how to call this program. The current cifs.upcall program handles two different key types:

cifs.spnego

This keytype is for retrieving kerberos session keys

dns_resolver

This key type is for resolving hostnames into IP addresses

To make this program useful for CIFS, you´ll need to set up entries for them in request−key.conf(5). Here´s an example of an entry for each key type:

#OPERATION TYPE D C PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2...
#========= ============= = = ==========================================

create

cifs.spnego * * /usr/local/sbin/cifs.upcall −c %k

create dns_resolver * * /usr/local/sbin/cifs.upcall %k

See request-key.conf5() for more info on each field.

SEE ALSO

request-key.conf(5), mount.cifs(8)
