The [*] notations next to things are really nice, they let you turn kernel stuff on and off :) It's appropriate for mainline to support added security isn't it? I think following the path of supporting-but-not-forcing is the best route, because it encourages people to account for systems which may take advantage of such options, and thus leads to a software base in which it's quite sane to actually enable those options globally. That's just how I think though. > thanks, > -chris - -- All content of all messages exchanged herein are left in the Public Domain, unless otherwise explicitly stated. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCCB+GhDd4aOud5P8RAlD9AJ45JTY20WY6qHe0h0ZIcFasgxJDtACbB1aB i4hytMAy6Cs1AUNXC296JOk= =oLVs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
