NAME
key.dns_resolver - upcall for request-key to handle dns_resolver keys
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/key.dns_resolver <key>
/sbin/key.dns_resolver --dump-config [-c <configfile>]
/sbin/key.dns_resolver -D [-v] [-v] [-c <configfile>] <desc>
<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.
There program has internal parameters that can be changed with a configuration file (see
key.dns_resolver.conf(5) for more information). The default configuration file is in
/etc, but this can be overridden with the -c flag.
The program can be called in debugging mode to test its functionality by passing a -D or
--debug 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.
The program may also be called with --dump-config to show the values that configurable pa-
rameters will have after parsing the config file.
ERRORS
All errors will be logged to the syslog.
