Yes, LSM is fairly big and intrusive, the LSM guys and the SELinux guys |
2 |
worked very hard to finally get it suitable for inclusion dispite the |
3 |
feature freeze (linus told them he'd accept it). It does mean, however |
4 |
that there were API changes both in LSM and SELinux and so the |
5 |
userland, selinux libs, etc are totally different, we are in the process |
6 |
of getting these new patches working so they can be put into |
7 |
portage. Pebenito has already fixed up his policy to work with the |
8 |
2.6 selinux (not many changes) and he's even running selinux on |
9 |
his PPC !! :) (this wasn't possible with the older API that needed |
10 |
architecture specific registers). |
11 |
|
12 |
This will certainly make SELinux more accessible to everyone, and |
13 |
is a great step in Linux. Anyone who is willing to test the new |
14 |
SELinux stuff on 2.6 you can drop by #gentoo-hardened or |
15 |
reply here, Thanks. |

Hi everybody, |
21 |
|
22 |
In case you haven't seen it, SELinux patch is now integrated in the new |
23 |
test kernel. This seems most interesting: |
24 |
|
25 |
-kernel source will not need to be patched for it |
26 |
-it will be available in all configurations: no more problems merging |
27 |
selinux patches and other (future) patches. |
28 |
-more public awareness will probably mean more people will try and use |
29 |
it. |
30 |
|
31 |
I hope this move helps the hardened gentoo selinux project; I would be |
32 |
glad to hear your opinion about this move: isn't it quite a big patch to |
33 |
add into the -test series? (I thought they were into feature freeze |
34 |
code, patching only). Anyway, I'm glad they are betting for it! |
35 |
