Hi, I've seen people ask about this warning several times, understandably, as it gives the appearance that something is wrong, whereas it just indicates that there is already a primary security module and the requesting security module needs to fall back as a secondary (which the capability module does). Perhaps register_security() shouldn't be displaying error messages itself, and defer this to the caller? The capability module correctly only displays a message if it also fails to register as a secondary module. Not a big deal to me, but as I've seen user questions about it, it does seem to be a source of confusion... -----Forwarded Message----- To: Development discussions related to Fedora Core <fedora-devel-list@private> Subject: Security alert message on startup Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2004 10:26:21 -0400 This has been happening for a while but I haven't seen it reported here. kernel: Security Scaffold v1.0.0 initialized kernel: SELinux: Initializing. kernel: SELinux: Starting in permissive mode kernel: There is already a security framework initialized, register_security failed. kernel: selinux_register_security: Registering secondary module capability
