I wish I could provide you a full list of what would need to be done, but unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge of SCTP to be able to tell you more than I already have. I expect that in the end you'll be able to educate us all (at least the SELinux folks) a little on SCTP. > Anyway I may carry on and see how far I get. Please do, your help would be greatly appreciated. I'm more than happy to provide whatever help I can and I suspect dborkman would say the same. > However what about the "Improve support for the different network address > families with more socket classes" that is on the list. Would the type of > patch I submitted be suitable for that type of basic support for say > Bluetooth or are you really looking for the detailed support as in SCTP. Like most things, the answer is: "it depends". If the protocol is fairly simplistic, e.g. UDP, then a patch like what you provided is likely sufficient. However, if it is more complicated, e.g. TCP, then we need to be a bit more careful to make sure we are handling things correctly. While I only know enough about SCTP to be dangerous, SCTP does appear to fall under the complex/TCP category. I don't know enough about Bluetooth to make a judgment either way, but I'm always willing to accept patches if you provide a good explanation. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com _______________________________________________ Selinux mailing list Selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, send email to Selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
