An updated version of the SELinux module for 2.5.69 is now available from http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/lk/A07selinux.patch.gz. This patch only modifies the security/ directory, updating its Makefile and Kconfig and adding the selinux subdirectory and files under it. As with the prior RFC posting, this patch depends on the A0[1-6]*.patch.gz patches in the same directory that have been separately submitted, and the full patch against 2.5.69 is http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/lk/2.5.69-selinux1.patch.gz. Some corresponding userland components are contained in http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/lk/selinux-2.5.tgz. Changes since the prior RFC posting include: - Flattened the include hierarchy under security/selinux - Dropped the special handling of proc inode labeling, to be revisited later as a separate patch, possibly via xattr handlers in the virtual filesystems to support security labeling. - Dropped avc_d_path. - Various code cleanups. As before, documentation of SELinux can be found at http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/docs.html. That documentation does not reflect the changes to the SELinux API and implementation that we have been making in preparing for submission to mainline 2.5, but is useful in understanding the architecture and design. Background information for the SELinux project is available at http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/background.html. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
