A device driver is more privilged than a setuid binary and more attackable. It can't be swapped and it is hard to change as part of the kernel. Why is a device driver better for this ? If its unchanging data then I'd dump it somewhere from an init script and at that point no setuidness is needed. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
