[note: lsm added to the cc list] I was hoping that skb->security could be reassigned as a void pointer for use by LSM in 2.5, if LSM is accepted into the kernel. This would be used by LSM modules for maintaining security attributes between layers. Note that this may also be useful for Freeswan, as it should be possible now to implement ipsec as an LSM module. - James -- James Morris <jmorrisat_private> _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
