Dan's latest MLS policy RPM (as well as some past versions) has a patch in it, mlspol.patch, which contains the following change for initial_sid_contexts:

 -sid kernel        system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 - s9:c0.c127
 +sid kernel        system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s9:c0.c127

From what I can tell this causes some problems, the biggest of which being that init starts at s9 which can cause the system to die on boot when trying to fsck the filesystems. I'm not entirely sure why this change was made as I would think we would want the kernel to run at s0-s9 or at the very least s0. Can someone clue me in as to why we want to run the kernel at s9 or, Dan, can you change it back to s0 - s9?

Thanks,

I will go with either way.  I don't recall why the change was made.


If given a choice I would say s0 - s9 makes the most sense.
