Hi.  I'm having a poke around with lsm and am trying to get the 
security information attached to a process inherited by child
processes.  I've created a task_alloc_security function and it
is being called appropriately when new tasks are spawned.

My problem is that the p_pptr in the task struct passed points
to the grandfather process not the father.  Is this a problem with
old versions of LSM?  I'm using the 2.4.18 patch which I realise
is quite old.

Tim.
