cifs.upcall

CIFS.UPCALL(8)						    System Administration tools 					    CIFS.UPCALL(8)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       cifs.upcall [--trust-dns|-t] [--version|-v] {keyid}

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the cifs-utils 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
	   This option is deprecated and is currently ignored.

       --trust-dns|-t
	   With krb5 upcalls, the name used as the host portion of the service principal defaults to the hostname portion of the UNC. This option
	   allows the upcall program to reverse resolve the network address of the server in order to get the hostname.

	   This is less secure than not trusting DNS. When using this option, it's possible that an attacker could get control of DNS and trick
	   the client into mounting a different server altogether. It's preferable to instead add server principals to the KDC for every possible
	   hostname, but this option exists for cases where that isn't possible. The default is to not trust reverse hostname lookups in this
	   fashion.

       --version|-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 requires 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 %k
	   create      dns_resolver   * * /usr/local/sbin/cifs.upcall %k

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