+
+<para>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.</para>
+
+<para>cifs.upcall is generally intended to be run when the kernel calls
+request-key<manvolnum>8</manvolnum> 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.</para>

+	<title>CONFIGURATION FOR KEYCTL</title>
+	<para>cifs.upcall is designed to be called from the kernel via the request-key callout program. This requres that request-key be told where and how to call this program. The current cifs.upcall program handles two different key types:</para>
+
+	<variablelist>
+		<varlistentry>
+		<term>cifs.spnego</term>
+		<listitem><para>This keytype is for retrieving kerberos session keys
+		</para></listitem>
+		</varlistentry>
+
+		<varlistentry>
+		<term>cifs.resolve</term>
+		<listitem><para>This key type is for resolving hostnames into IP addresses
+		</para></listitem>
+		</varlistentry>
+	</variablelist>
+
+	<para>To make this program useful for CIFS, you'll need to set up entries for them in request-key.conf<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>. Here's an example of an entry for each key type:</para>
+<programlisting>
+#OPERATION  TYPE           D C PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2...
+#=========  =============  = = ==========================================
+create	    cifs.spnego    * * /usr/local/sbin/cifs.upcall -c %k
+create      cifs.resolver  * * /usr/local/sbin/cifs.upcall %k
