Latest rawhide kernel pulled in 2.6.24.1-rc1, so they seem to be stabilizing on 2.6.24.x rather than pulling from git again for Fedora 9. Which means we'll have to get the patch added explicitly if we want it in Fedora 9. Likely requires posting of the patch to fedora kernel list. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
