My key management patches are in Andrew Morton's tree. Various people have looked at it (including NFS, CIFS, OpenAFS and cryptfs maintainers) and I've had some useful feedback which I've incorporated. Hopefully Andrew will bump it up to Linus soon, though he may decide to wait for something to go in first that uses it. I've settled on the user interface now. There are three new syscalls which will always be available, and an optional filesystem. There are also four new error codes. David CERN (IT # 45981) needs this feature because they make use of OpenAFS This feature was unfortunately not mature enough to make it into RHEL4. We have closed B2, and the code has not had a chance to be used in the community, and the community is still working towards a solution. Therefore, we'll defer until RHEL4 U1. We have no bandwidth for interim fixes for maturing (albeit important) software, unfortunately. I asssume that someone in support will communicate this back to the customers. My key management patches are now in the Linus's Linux tree. David However, since this involves new error codes and syscalls, it's going to require additions to glibc. It will also require utility programs. I should see about getting these into Fedora. David kabi buster, moving to U2 release bucket for consideration there This needs to be on the U2 MUSTFIX list as this has been promised to Morgan Stanley in U2. PM ACK for U2. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-514.html |
