These are fine. > CONFIG_SECURITY_ROOTPLUG=y Don't enable rootplug - it doesn't honor the security= option. See below. Plus it is just a toy example for an article that was published long ago.

Unless you use the security= option to select one at boot. SELinux and Smack will honor the security= option. > A great help would be in the form of a patch in updating: > http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ltp/ltp/testcases/kernel/security/selinux-testsuite/README > > in terms of exact SELinux policy(s) and userspace tool(s) to be > installed (from where to get and where to put) to build and run the > SELinux testsuite, supposing that a new kernel is built and no SELinux > policies/uerspace tools existed there before. The existing ltp selinux testsuite presumes that you have an existing SELinux policy + userspace tools. I've only ever used it on Fedora and RHEL, and principally on the latest Fedora. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ltp-list mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltp-list
