Simo.


I tried to mimic exactly what the cifscreds program does, but I may have made a mistake. Or perhaps cifscreds is also doing a bad thing. The key permissions are set to:

#define CIFS_KEY_PERMS (KEY_POS_VIEW|KEY_POS_WRITE|KEY_POS_SEARCH| \
                        KEY_USR_VIEW|KEY_USR_WRITE|KEY_USR_SEARCH)
