From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <45351FC9.2080204@us.ibm.com> Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 13:24:09 -0500 From: Michael C Thompson MIME-Version: 1.0 To: SE Linux CC: Daniel J Walsh , Stephen Smalley Subject: [PATCH 0/4] newrole suid functionality (take 2) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: owner-selinux@tycho.nsa.gov List-Id: selinux@tycho.nsa.gov This is the intro to a set of four patches. These patches are an attempt to make newrole be an acceptably secure suid root program, to provide it with the capabilities to generate audit records (existing) and handle polyinstatiation (new). The 4 patches are as follows: 1) New functions introduced to newrole.c, new and existing functionality 2) Changes to existing functions in newrole.c 3) Updates to main in newrole.c to use the aforementioned changes 4) Changes to the Makefile to allow building of newrole with the changes and introduction of newrole-lspp.pamd Note: This is an atomically applicable patch set. Applying a subset of these patches will break the build. The comments from the previous send of these patches have been integrated.
