Recall how his Openwall patch has special handling for the first three file descriptors? I don't know if he would really need the hooks everywhere SGI wants the hooks, but hey, consistency, you know? How did I do? Contrived enough? :) (Oh yeah, if the SGI folks want to take a gander at their proposed fd patch to see if it could possibly be used for solar designer's Openwall patch, then we could feel warm and fuzzy about it. :) ["Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, dum dum dum, dum dai..."] _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
