I believe the audit message above > is coming from modsig_verify in security/integrity/ima/ima_appraise.c. Right, and it's calling: rc = integrity_modsig_verify(INTEGRITY_KEYRING_IMA, modsig); It's failing because it is trying to find the public key on the .ima keyring. Make sure that the public needed to validate the kernel module is on the IMA keyring (eg. keyctl show %keyring:.ima). Mimi
