Problem compiling lsm with 2.4.18 kernel

sjohnsonat_private

Hi,

This is my first attempt at installing an LSM patched kernel, but I'm
having problems compiling the kernel after configuring the kernel. I'm
trying to build it on a RedHat 7.2 system.

I have patched a newly uncompressed 2.4.18 kernel with the
lsm-full-2002_02_25-2.4.18 patch. The patching process worked fine and
I've configured the kernel with the following options:

#
# Security options
#
CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_IP=m
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=m
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_MLS=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_OWLSM=m
CONFIG_OWLSM_RLIMIT_NPROC=y
CONFIG_OWLSM_LINK=y
CONFIG_OWLSM_FD=y
# CONFIG_SECURITY_DTE is not set

#
# Linux Intrusion Detection System
#
CONFIG_LIDS=m
CONFIG_LIDS_MAX_INODE=1024
CONFIG_LIDS_MAX_SACL=1024
CONFIG_LIDS_MAX_OACL=1024
CONFIG_LIDS_MAX_PROTECTED_PID=1024
CONFIG_LIDS_HANGUP=y
CONFIG_LIDS_SA_EXEC_UP=y
CONFIG_LIDS_NO_EXEC_UP=y
CONFIG_LIDS_NO_FLOOD_LOG=y
CONFIG_LIDS_TIMEOUT_AFTER_FLOOD=60
# CONFIG_LIDS_ALLOW_SWITCH is not set
CONFIG_LIDS_PORT_SCAN_DETECTOR=y
CONFIG_LIDS_SA_THROUGH_NET=y
CONFIG_LIDS_HIDE_KLIDS=y
CONFIG_LIDS_NET_MAX_TRIES=3
CONFIG_LIDS_NET_TIMEOUT=30
CONFIG_LIDS_MSGQUEUE_SIZE=16
CONFIG_LIDS_MAIL_SCRIPT=y
CONFIG_LIDS_DEBUG=y

The error message that I receive while compiling the modules is the
following:

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/software/linux/security/lids'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/opt/software/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes

I have no idea if the issue would have been related, so I've tried with
and without the installation of lidstools for lsm before compiling the
modules and have gotten the same error both times.

Any ideas what could be causing this or possible ways to solve the
issue?

Thanks a lot
Steve Johnson
