This patchset is a cleanup and overhaul of the cifscreds utility that
lives in the cifs-utils tree today. Igor Druzhinin did a wonderful job
on this when he did the original code a couple of years ago, but I did a
rather poor job at the time of communicating what we actually need for
this tool to do. Mea culpa...
This patch is a third pass at morphing it into a tool that's more like
what we need. I believe with this, I'll be able to roll some kernel
patches that can use the stashed key for establishing sessions.
I've made a few changes since the last set:
- convert the tool to use the new "secret" key_type that I'm proposing
- a manpage has been added
- the key is now prefixed with "cifs:" instead of "cifscreds:"
The idea here is that we want to be able to allow users to stash their
NTLM credentials in the kernel, so that it's possible to establish a
session on the fly when that user walks into a multiuser mount.
This set should be considered in conjunction with the kernel patchset
that I proposed earlier today:
[PATCH 0/3] cifs: allow multiuser mounts with authtypes besides krb5
