[RFC][PATCH] Add LSM sysctl hook to 2.5.59

From: Stephen D. Smalley (sdsat_private)
Date: Fri Jan 17 2003 - 13:54:37 PST

  • Next message: ¶«·½ ó»Î: "How does a lsm security module open a config file?"

    This patch adds a LSM sysctl hook for controlling access to
    sysctl variables to 2.5.59, split out from the lsm-2.5 BitKeeper tree.
    SELinux uses this hook to control such accesses in accordance with the
    security policy configuration.
    
    If anyone has any objections to this change, please let me know.
