NAME
       request-key - Handle key instantiation callback requests from the ker-
       nel

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/request-key       	
	     []

DESCRIPTION
       This  program  is invoked by the kernel when the kernel is asked for a
       key that it doesn't have immediately available. The kernel  creates  a
       partially set up key and then calls out to this program to instantiate
       it. It is not intended to be called directly.

ERRORS
       All errors will be logged to the syslog.

FILES
       /etc/request-key.conf Instantiation handler configuration file.
