2.0.4-pre5 posted

Hi,

I have posted another pre-release today. The last pre-release broke 
support for SuSE 9.1. It was easily fixed, but I figured I should do 
some more general polishing since I wanted to post a new version. Aside 
from fixing what pre4 broke, this version also includes:

- The RSBAC extension was significantly cleaned up. Now the files can be 
used with RSBAC "out-of-the-box". The "configure" script also provides 
information about this. One thing that still does not work is RSBAC 
support with Dazuko and devfs. This is a problem with RSBAC and will 
hopefully be solved in the future. The problem is that RSBAC tries to 
initialize DAZ before mounting /dev. Since DAZ can't create /dev/dazuko, 
the initialization fails and Dazuko does not get loaded.

- The Linux 2.6 extension now allocates memory using the ATOMIC flag. 
This means that the huge kernel debugging stack traces for kmalloc will 
no longer be generated.

I hope that this will be the final pre-release. 2.0.4 will represent a 
major improvement over 2.0.3 for Linux 2.6 and FreeBSD 4/5.

On a side note, I will be at the LinuxWorld conference in Frankfurt, 
Germany this week - http://www.linuxworldexpo.de . You can find me at 
the Sun Microsystems booth. If you happen to be there, feel free to stop 
by and say hi!
