By my reading, KEYRING also doesn't generally include the uid in the name.

Again, I can only speak for what I see in Redhat and Ubuntu. The default for 
KRB5CCNAME is KEYRING:persistent:UID. Something (I think a combination of the 
library and the kernel) prevents users from accessing anything that doesn’t 
start with KEYRING:persistent:UID with their own UID. Root can access them all.

KEYRING:persistent:UID is a collection. All actual caches are 
KEYRING:persistent:UID:stuff, so there’s no ambiguity.

There are other formats for KEYRING for per-process, etc., but as far as I know 
they’re not used and would be pretty hard to use except for inside a specific 
application.
