This is probably a Linux distribution configuration choice, better to ask your distro maintainers. DNS_RESOLVER is automatically selected if CIFS_UPCALL (since 2010, so it has been there a long time) is selected (and if KEYS is not available then CIFS_UPCALL won't be selected). >From fs/cifs/Kconfig 86 config CIFS_UPCALL 87 bool "Kerberos/SPNEGO advanced session setup" 88 depends on CIFS && KEYS 89 select DNS_RESOLVER And I would expect that all distros should configure with CIFS_UPCALL enabled (at least for the last five or six years they should be doing that) On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 3:08 AM, LEROY Christine 208562 <Christine.LEROY2@xxxxxx> wrote: > Hello, > > I was wondering why the cifs_upcall is not configured by default with the dns_resolver on linux kernel 2.6.32 (at least) ? > We had windelinks on our CIFS server and it took many times for us to understand the problem not accesing these widelinks. > Is there some security issue or ?? > Thanks in advance, > Cheers > Christine > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
