At this point, I'm mainly interested in results using 2.6.11-rc3-mm2, because that is the exact version Andrew is merging with the mainline kernel. Only those comfortable with and interested in building development kernels should try that. The main reason we asked Andrew to include this LSM in the kernel is that it's difficult to keep patches working as each new kernel version comes out. Once in the kernel tree, that happens automatically. Many kernel developers opposed this. It *is* something of a hack. But, no one has been able to come up with a better solution, and this one at least looks safe. I expect it to be replaced by something better in the 2.8 timeframe. -- joq
