A register_security function (in security/security.c) is provided to allow a security module to set security_ops to refer to its own hook functions, and an unregister_security function is provided to revert security_ops to the dummy module hooks. This mechanism is used to set the primary security module, which is responsible for making the final decision for each hook." regards, rhys _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
