177.PP
178This tool is part of the
179\fBsamba\fR(7)
180suite\&.
181.PP
182cifs\&.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\&.
183.PP
184cifs\&.upcall is generally intended to be run when the kernel calls request\-key(8)
185for a particular key type\&. While it can be run directly from the command\-line, it\'s not generally intended to be run that way\&.
186.SH "OPTIONS"
187.PP
188\-c
189.RS 4
190This option is deprecated and is currently ignored\&.
191.RE
192.PP
193\-\-trust\-dns|\-t
194.RS 4
195With 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\&.
196.sp
197This 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\&.
198.RE
199.PP
200\-\-version|\-v
201.RS 4
202Print version number and exit\&.
203.RE
204.SH "CONFIGURATION FOR KEYCTL"
205.PP
206cifs\&.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:
207.PP
208cifs\&.spnego
209.RS 4
210This keytype is for retrieving kerberos session keys
211.RE
212.PP
213dns_resolver
214.RS 4
215This key type is for resolving hostnames into IP addresses
216.RE
217.PP
218To 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:
219.sp
220.if n \{\
