What mechanism are you using to perform the initial policy load (Fedora originally patched /sbin/init then migrated to performing the load from the initrd; Ubuntu does the load from initrd but in a different manner; Debian still uses a patched init I believe)? Can you post the logic for your initial policy load, whether it is a patch to /sbin/init or an initrd script? -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
