Although I previously agreed to this change, I'm really not convinced it is necessary. encrypted keys don't create new trusted or user keys, they only use existing keys to encrypt/decrypt encrypted keys(instantiate,read). Key names, user or otherwise, should be left up to the person creating them. thanks, Mimi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
