Re: temporary hack to use udev in selinux

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl@lkcl.net>]

okay, i've added in some stuff for tmpfs, just like chris did,
joshua.

if anyone would like to play with this (aside from kicking the
udev developer) then you can find the code at
http://hands.com/~lkcl/selinux/2.6.6.

it's too late in the morning to go making patches, sorry: help yourself.
i'll sort patches later.

i added, like chris did, some "special" inodes stuff, and some stuff
to do symlinks too.

of course, the default policy files all expect the root filesystem
to be a hard drive not a tmpfs_t so boot poos up.

i started adding in selinux permissions to udev.te.

... i get the impression that i need to do stuff like create a
new initrd that has /selinux in it and things.

but what i _can_ do that's fairly easy is write a message to the
nice udev developer :)
