I simply took his own example.

Bad idea. It makes my eyes hurt, 1777 and trusted directly next to eachother ;).

I think it's not really directly related to the question, but if it were
relevant, I'd say that the correct way would be to let the ordinary user create
the file elsewhere and then have root move it to that directory, /after/
changing ownership of the file to root.

Eh? A bit sinister interpretation, but okay: I took 0xDEADBEEF for the fact that
it's a 32-bit identifier that's mildly funny. I still needed a filename for the
keyring, so I stored the dead beef in the meat file.

Cheers,
