When reading ima_policy from securityfs, there is a missing
space between output string of LSM rules.

Normally this "From" line is only seen when the sender isn't the patch
author.  Any ideas what happened?

Good catch!  IMA policy rules based on LSM labels are used to
constrain which files are in policy.  Normally a single LSM label is
enough (e.g. dont_measure obj_type=auditd_log_t).  Could you include
in this patch description a use case where multiple LSM labels are
needed?

thanks,

Mimi

Hi Mimi,

Apparently I should not use "--from" in git-send-email command.

Apology for not expressed my intention clearly. The intention of this
patch is to add a space after printing LSM rules (if any) and the
remaining rules.

Currently, if I have a policy, for example:
appraise func=BPRM_CHECK obj_type=shell_exec_t appraise_type=imasig

The read back result is:
appraise func=BPRM_CHECK obj_type=shell_exec_tappraise_type=imasig

which is not correct.

I do not have a case for multiple LSM labels, but if there is one
such case, this patch will also apply.

I will post a v2 patch with tuned description.

Thanks,
Clay
