I've been having some problems with the init patch for SE Linux. Firstly it seems that L_VB is not the correct option for calls to log() as syslogd is not started at that stage. L_VB expands to (L_CO|L_SY) where L_CO (for console logging) is all that's required. For reasons that I have not determined console logging doesn't seem to work. But it seems to me that log(L_CO, ... isn't the right way to go either. As the code in question will be run by init at first startup when the kernel will already have stdout pointing to /dev/console, why not just use printf() to display log messages? -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
