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\&. -.PP -cifs\&.idmap is generally intended to be run when the kernel calls request\-key(8) -for a particular key type\&. While it can be run directly from the command\-line, it is not generally intended to be run that way\&. -.PP -This program is only called if a share is mounted with the \fBcifsacl\fR mount -option. The kernel will only upcall to do this conversion if that mount option -is specified. -.PP -cifs.idmap relies on a plugin to handle the ID mapping. If it can't find the -plugin then it will not work properly. The plugin (or a symlink to it) must be -at \fB@pluginpath@\fR. -.PP -In the case where cifs.idmap or the plugin are unavailable, file objects in a mounted share are assigned uid and gid of the credentials of the process that mounted the share\&. It is strongly recomemended to use mount options of uid and gid to specify a default uid and gid to map owner SIDs and group SIDs in this -situation. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.PP ---help|-h -.RS -Print the usage message and exit. -.RE -.PP ---timeout|-t -.RS 4 -Set the expiration timer, in seconds on the key. The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes). Setting this to 0 will cause the key to never expire. -.RE -.PP -\-\-version|\-v -.RS 4 -Print version number and exit\&. -.RE -.SH "CONFIGURATION FOR KEYCTL" -.PP -cifs\&.idmap 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\&. Currently cifs\&.idmap handles a key type of: -.PP -cifs\&.idmap -.RS 4 -This keytype is for mapping a SID to either an uid or a gid -.RE -.PP -To make this program useful for CIFS, you will need to set up entry for it in request\-key\&.conf(5)\&. Here is an example of an entry for this key type: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -#OPERATION TYPE D C PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2\&.\&.\&. -#========= ============= = = ================================ -create cifs\&.idmap * * @sbindir@/cifs\&.idmap %k -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -See -\fBrequest-key.conf\fR(5) -for more info on each field\&. -.SH "NOTES" -.PP -Support for upcalls to cifs.idmap was initially introduced in the 3.0 kernel. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.PP - -\fBrequest-key.conf\fR(5), -\fBmount.cifs\fR(8) -.SH "AUTHOR" -.PP -Shirish Pargaonkar wrote the cifs\&.idmap program\&. -.PP -The -Linux CIFS Mailing list -is the preferred place to ask questions regarding these programs\&. |
