Re: Dazuko and Linux 2.6

Hi,

I have started working on the port to the 2.6 Linux Kernel. I have been 
doing a lot of reading and tests using the new LSM stuff. It is 
amazingly easy. The main problems I am having is the all the tons of 
warnings and errors I am getting from the other stuff.

Michael, you mentioned that you had successfully compiled Dazuko for 2.6 
(except for the system call stuff). Is it possible you could submit your 
version of the code? With your fixes and my knowledge of LSM's it should 
be fairly easy to get the 2.6 port finished.
