My earlier point is the NSA provides *patches* to the kernel source. The current NSA patch is for the 2.6.13 kernel sources. Though the current 2.6.13.2 kernel sources are more recently dated than the NSA 2.6.13 patch, reading the NSA web site indicates they provide patches for the current kernel sources. And they advise you to apply these patches. I fully realize that SELinux is now part of the Linux kernel, but it is my understanding that the NSA provides updates that are not included in the current kernel sources, hence, the patches. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 22:07:00 up 2 days, 6:31, 3 users, load average: 1.22, 0.89, 0.45 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
