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 ordinar-
ily 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 in-
creased by supplying one or more -v flags.
ERRORS
All errors will be logged to the syslog.
