From 7ab501db8cb6659efdf04034e0de6b44c059a51b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 16:41:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Keys: Possessor permissions should be additive This patch makes the possessor permissions on a key additive with user/group/other permissions on the same key. This permits extra rights to be granted to the possessor of a key without taking away any rights conferred by them owning the key or having common group membership.
