any idea how i can call it from the kernel? i have been trying to
find out how.
i am also thinking if i should use lsm and use their security
hooks, intercept the execution of a program, call the userspace
program, authenticate via pam, and then return boolean to the
kernel to continue or halt execution.
any examples?
