I'm trying to get LSM to build on a Cobalt Qube. I took the kernel source 2.4.16C10 that Sun ships to special people (the sales people deny having 2.4 kernel support), removed the XFS, kdb, and kdgb patches and made a diff against the regular 2.4.16 kernel. Then I fixed the errors applying this to 2.4.18 (mostly code that Sun had back-ported to 2.4.16 as well as some SPARC specific stuff that I just removed - Cobalt machines never have SPARC processors anyway). After getting my new 2.4.18 kernel booting on a Qube I tried applying the LSM patch. I've attached a patch that conflicts with the LSM patch for your interest. It adds support for larger numbers of supplementary groups and allows the maximum to be changed at runtime. I think this may be of interest because, this patch may end up in a main-line kernel at some future time and someone here is probably interested in supporting all the Cobalt features in addition to LSM instead of replacing the entire OS on their Qube as I did. Also there's plenty of people who are involved in kernel hacking here, maybe they'll like this patch. -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software.
