Is this particular machine and kernel presently stable when running the same kernel and no selinux? I have seen very strange things happen over the years when hardware is failing or marginal, power supply voltages are on the edge... I've seen particular PCI modules blow the bus out of the water, etc, etc... Worth checking before you ruin Stephen Smalley's sleep and fill it with nightmares of kernel race conditions and random byte squashers. :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------ Dale Amon amon@islandone.org +44-7802-188325 International linux systems consultancy Hardware & software system design, security and networking, systems programming and Admin "Have Laptop, Will Travel" ------------------------------------------------------ -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
