(no fame & glory necessary) Ideally the user-land application would test every hook, but there's no reason it has to be complete to be useful. A userland program that tested a subset of the hooks, and can then determine that that particular subset was indeed exercised, would have some value. That way, someone can write something that tests a few cases, and others can extend it (just like the hooks are being added). _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
