Hm, I'm not able to add a key to the system keyring that is signed by a key on either the system or the IMA MOK keyrings. The system keyring seems to be "locked". A key that is signed by either a key on the system or the IMA MOK keyring can be added to the IMA keyring. keyctl show %keyring:.system_keyring Keyring 973688077 ---lswrv 0 0 keyring: .system_keyring evmctl import m1-cert-signed.der 973688077 add_key failed errno: Permission denied (13) Mimi > > Whilst I appreciate what the patch is trying to do, I don't think this is > > quite the right solution. > Please apply this to security/next. > > Thanks, > David
