Synopsis
keyutils enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated keyutils packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The keyutils package provides utilities to control the Linux kernel key management facility and to provide a mechanism by which the kernel calls up to user space to get a key instantiated.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- With this update, the request-key utility allows multiple configuration files to be provided. The request-key configuration file and its associated key-type specific variants are used by the request-key utility to determine which program should be run to instantiate a key. (BZ#772497)
All users of keyutils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
