Just hoping to avoid a change collision. If I have to deal with this today it's easy, if it doesn't show up anywhere until 2.6.28 I'm breezing, but if it all hits in two weeks I have some scrambling and yet another delay to deal with. Not your problem, a little information would be helpful though. BTW, I reviewed my notes from the early days of LSM and it turns out that I agree with the notion that loadable modules don't make a whole lot of sense. So long as I can choose security models as easily as I can change file systems, I'm reasonably happy. That, and that the "default" "regular" policy isn't too terribly different from the traditional Unix policy.
