"queuing" should be "keyring", and "tag" should be "PAG".

(The long version: people that are used to AFS, for example, expect to
be able to start up a new shell and get remote filesystem credentials
for the use only of that process and its descendents.  So e.g. an
adminstrator might want to be to log in as root while still taking
advantage of some user credentials that give access to an NFS server,
without also forcing all other root logins to use the same credentials.
David Howell's keyring system, recently added to the mainline kernel,
gives us the infrastructure we need to do this, and we're hacking away

thanks,
