That was Klaus' original recommendation. However, it seemed not to be an option when we last discussed it on the list. In an Oct. 5 post James Morris wrote, "We're only shipping one kernel, and this feature will be enabled." I don't know if Red Hat's position has changed on this issue. It might make sense once again to consider turning it off given nothing is really using it yet. In fact, I don't see the keyutils rpm in the Core/Extras 5 or rawhide install trees, which is somewhat surprising.
