I haven't looked at devfs at all. I would expect that we would address it by inserting calls to obtain a SID from the security server based on the device and then setting the SID in the inode. But my preference would be for other people to contribute by adding support for things like devfs or reiserfs if they are using those features.

I haven't tried the -ac patches, so I don't know.

   Second, I'm trying to shoe-horn the SELinux kernel patch into an -ac kernel. (2.4.3-ac2, with the International patches applied, to be exact.) 2.4.3 patched OK (well, apart from one #ifdef'ed comment, which doesn't seem too catastrophic :), but the -ac stuff is sufficiently different to really muck things up. Anyone tried this? And, if so, are there any kernel burps that crop up that I need to watch for?

Thanks
