No, just that however the secid is determined (whether indirectly via specification of a directory or directly via specification of a secid), the ability of the daemon to control what secid gets used ought to be controlled. Or, alternatively, the ability of the daemon to enable caching in a given directory ought to be controlled. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
