Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Keys: Pass session keyring to call_usermodehelper() [try #2]
Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 11:38:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <23939.1111664308@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <29204.1111608899@redhat.com>


The attached patch makes it possible to pass a session keyring through to the
process spawned by call_usermodehelper(). This allows patch 3/3 to pass an
authorisation key through to /sbin/request-key, thus permitting better access
controls when doing just-in-time key creation.
