I was building eglibc and saw selinux support flag in it's configure script. Any idea what this is used for. Some hints and pointers needed.
SELinux works for me without this support as far as I understand but need to get all the goodies that are available. Couln't find anything with a bit of googling!
According to Eric it has something to do with nscd. Is nscd part of libc now? Why do we need an object manager here?
"
Glibc's nscd keeps its name service caches in fixed-size files. These"
are always mmap'd into the nscd daemon address space. "persistent" and
"shared" are both per-name-service options.

I think it is not that important for a newbie like me :(
