> Some sources incorrectly indicate that keyutils is only needed with
> DFS, but keyutils is also needed when using CIFS w/ Kerberos
> authentication.
> 
> When trying to mount a CIFS share using kerberos (sec=krb5), the
> kernel invokes /sbin/request-key to request a key from userspace. Then
> cifs.upcall (from cifs-utils) is executed to handle the SPNEGO
> authentication.
> 
> If keyutils is not installed, then /sbin/request-key is absent, and
> the kernel is completely silent about this.

> [  +0.497021] CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -2
> [  +0.000992] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -2
> 
> Thus, I strongly agree with the proposal for cifs-utils to *Recommend*
> keyutils, rather than merely *Suggesting* it.
