Just installed the 2.4.5 kernel and the appropriate lsm patch.  I'm having
trouble initializing my module now (no trouble in 2.4.4)).  I've chased it
down to:

int register_security (struct security_operations *ops)
{

        if (verify(ops)) {
                printk (KERN_INFO __FUNCTION__ " could not verify "
                        "security_operations structure.\n");
                return -EINVAL;
        }
-->     if (security_ops != &dummy_security_ops) {
-->              printk (KERN_INFO "There is already a security "
-->                     "framework initialized, "
-->                     __FUNCTION__ " failed.\n");
-->             return -EINVAL;
-->     }

        security_ops = ops;

        return 0 ;
}

It is indeed returning -EINVAL.  I haven't a clue why.  Is there something
that I am not doing that I should be, or something like that?  I wasn't
aware that the changes from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5 were that much different...
