Since I'm new to the process, but I pulled it together, I'll take a stab at answering this, but defer to others with more experience on the process timing. The kernel bits are upstream in the 3.10-rc1 kernel as of May 11th. That would still need to be backported to a RHEL kernel. It is more likely to end up in Fedora first. Now that you mention it, that is something I should be able to backport to RHEL. The userspace bits in pam just had another patch sent upstream last week and I don't expect any issues arising from that. There is a bz filed to add it to RHEL7. Tomas Mraz should be able to provide more information about that timing. I assume he would also be able to answer questions about RHEL6 as well. That discussion and review of that patch is on the pam-develop...@lists.fedorahosted.org list. > Thanks, > J - RGB -- Richard Guy Briggs <rbri...@redhat.com> Senior Software Engineer Kernel Security AMER ENG Base Operating Systems Remote, Ottawa, Canada Voice: +1.647.777.2635 Internal: (81) 32635 Alt: +1.613.693.0684x3545 -- Linux-audit mailing list Linux-audit@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
