%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ keyutils Keyutils is a set of utilities for managing the key retention facility in the kernel, which can be used by filesystems, block devices and more to gain and retain the authorization and encryption keys required to perform secure operations. &lfs81_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &keyutils-md5sum; Download size: &keyutils-size; Estimated disk space required: &keyutils-buildsize; Estimated build time: &keyutils-time; User Notes: Install keyutils by running the following commands: make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make NO_ARLIB=1 install NO_ARLIB=1: This make flag disables installing the static library. /etc/request-key.conf and /etc/request-key.d/* /etc/request-key.conf /etc/request-key.d/* Installed Programs Installed Library Installed Directory keyctl, key.dns_resolver, and request-key libkeyutils.so /etc/request-key.d and /usr/share/keyutils Short Descriptions keyctl is to control the key management facility in various ways using a variety of subcommands. keyctl key.dns_resolver is invoked by request-key on behalf of the kernel when kernel services (such as NFS, CIFS and AFS) need to perform a hostname lookup and the kernel does not have the key cached. It is not ordinarily intended to be called directly. key.dns_resolver request-key is invoked by the kernel when the kernel is asked for a key that it doesn't have immediately available. The kernel creates a temporary key and then calls out to this program to instantiate it. It is not intended to be called directly. request-key libkeyutils.so contains the keyutils library API instantiation. libkeyutils.so
