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.
