NAK, please look at how this is used.


ahh.. I thought this was printk ing things
into dmesg.. but it's not it's a strlen.

That string is part of the header of the binary policy file.  You can't
change it without breaking compatibility.  It has always been that way
in mainline Linux 2.6, and predates that in the SELinux code (circa
2002).


I did see, where it's being called
but while looking at the code, I didn't
get what it was doing(to the most part)

then after really looking at strlen
it's(like what you had said)
the header of the binary file or
the string length

so to change this would breaks
lots of things!!("great just
what I need"..)

thanks for looking at this.
