This allows the instantiator to set the timeout on a key it is instantiating - provided it does it before instantiating the key. For instance, the test upcall script provided with the keyutils package could be modified to set the expiry to an hour hence before instantiating the key: [/usr/share/keyutils/request-key-debug.sh] if [ "$3" != "neg" ] then + keyctl timeout $1 3600 keyctl instantiate $1 "Debug $3" $4 || exit 1 else Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: James Morris --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
