Thanks. thanks ibukun - entrance is your baby after all and your word should be final :) note - that function is not very long. it would be easy to write again. just examine the algorithm - check what can be re-done in different logic statements or different order (if it can) and use different variables etc. because it is so short - it will still be similar to the gdm function - but you should be just copying the algorithm an using it as a reference for "oooh so THAT is the magic function in selinux that i need to call!". :) > Ibukun > > > On 8/10/06, The Rasterman Carsten Haitzler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> On Wed, 09 Aug 2006 17:15:26 +0200 Mivz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> babbled: > >> > >> > Yes, I'll read it :) > >> > Here is the patch.
