What I meant here is that iscsi-target should be sending RFC-3720 optional authentication type specific key=value payloads into userspace daemon(s) using some form of acceptable mainline kernel <-> user interface in mainline kernel code. This interface also really needs to be 64-bit kernel / 32-bit user safe as well. --nab -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
