I still believe that the patch to /sbin/init is simple enough that all
the rest of this stuff is complicating matters. It allows too many ways
for someone to make a modification that breaks security. I have updated
the files on people.redhat.com/dwalsh to use the modified init. I have
passed this by Bill Nottingham (Red Hat maintainer) and he is ok with it.
Of course if someone comes up with a simpler solution we would look at it.
