Bug#336561: linux-image-2.6.14-1-686: CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=y in 2.6.14 prevents realtime-lsm being used with a stock kernel

2005-10-31 Thread Arthur Marsh
OK, as it turned out, realtime.ko built against the 2.6.14 kernel source 
wouldn't load on 2.6.14 even after 2.6.14 had been rebuilt with 
CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=M.


The motivation for attempting it in the first place was to give xmms the 
ability to run in realtime mode (and xmms runs here fine without realtime).


It's not a big problem, just that I hadn't seen the discussion on the 
change to CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES.


Regards,

Arthur.

Hi, I tried to build the realtime-lsm against 2.6.14 and it complained 
that it couldn't do so unless CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES was built 
into the kernel as a module.


Fix:

CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=m

I'm just about to try installing the realtime-lsm against a kernel 
rebuilt with CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=m



This has been discussed in the past, but it seems there are security issues
why building CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES as modules is not a good idea.

Also, it seems that realtime-lsm is rather broken if it really needs a modular
CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES, and should be fixed, reassigning to it.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
