+ bool "Enable register of persistent per-UID keyrings"
+ depends on KEYS
+ help
+ This option provides a register of persistent per-UID keyrings,
+ primarily aimed at Kerberos key storage. The keyrings are persistent
+ in the sense that they stay around after all processes of that UID
+ have exited, not that they survive the machine being rebooted.
+
+ A particular keyring may be accessed by either the user whose keyring
+ it is or by a process with administrative privileges. The active
+ LSMs gets to rule on which admin-level processes get to access the
+ cache.
+
+ Keyrings are created and added into the register upon demand and get
+ removed if they expire (a default timeout is set upon creation).
