One other thing that I'm not certain about in this patch is if there is actually an important difference between "process" and "session" key-rings. I believe that the "session" distinction should be left up to user-space software like PAM to determine which key-ring "session" a process should belong to. The user and group key-rings are a good idea, so I guess the order with which key-rings are checked for keys is: Thread Process Session???
