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
