One vaguely related question: Is there presently any way to adjust the per-user max-key-data limit? I've been tinkering with using the new-ish MIT kerberos "KEYRING:" credentials-cache code to hold keys for persistent daemons. Unfortunately "root" keeps hitting the limit even with only about 16 keys allocated across a few sessions. After perusing the docs I can't find any documentation on adjusting the limits.

I'd really like some way to specifically allow root to allocate up to several megs worth of non-swappable key data, although I suppose just increasing the global limit slightly wouldn't be bad either. If such functionality already exists then I'd appreciate a pointer to it (and possibly respond in kind with documentation patches).

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
