Yes:-)

It starts with basic design questions. Sorry, I am always late..

I want to implement the iSCSI initiator as a CAM SIM driver. I was pointed
to the umass driver which is a "translator" between SCSI and USB commands.
The developers handbook gives me a good introduction how to write a SIM
driver.

But how to establish the connection, especially the authorization? I am
not sure how to handle this. I think it shouldn't be part of the kernel
driver. Maybe similiar to NFS asking for Kerberos tickets? But the
developers of nfssvc don't seem to be lucky about this..

I don't feel I have the experience to decide this so I would
appreciate answers.

BTW: You can see there are ways to share the task..

Thank you
Peter
