If this were *BSD, where the manpages are kept reliably up-to-date, I'd unhesitatingly say Yes. However, given that some of these manpages haven't been touched since 1994 or earlier, perhaps there is some other source that we shold be using instead? My guess says we just ought not return things different from the current kernel. > Has anyone taken the LSM changes, looked at the current state of the > hooks, and made sure you're not creating situations where an incorrect > errno will be returned? If I understand the hook structure, it is up to the individual module authors to get this right. Perhaps the LSM documentation could make a note of 'expected' error values that a well-behaved module may want to stick to using? _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
