Subject: [PATCH] Keys: Possessor permissions should be additive
Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2005 16:41:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19008.1128699684@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11615.1128694058@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com>


This patch makes the possessor permissions on a key additive with
user/group/other permissions on the same key.

This permits extra rights to be granted to the possessor of a key without
taking away any rights conferred by them owning the key or having common group
membership.

This needs to be applied on top of the patch ensubjected:
