Subject: udev has had udev_selinux removed - argh!
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2004 09:47:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040729094717.GE6443@lkcl.net> (raw)
hi there,
gentoo have pulled udev from their distribution because the
udev_selinux program has been removed from udev and replaced
with a /etc/dev.d/default/selinux script.
whilst this is reported as "WorkingForRedHat(tm)", i would
be very grateful if the functionality could be returned such
that it can be optionally compiled back in.
udev_selinux is not like udev_dbus: udev_dbus was pulled because
it took 1 millisecond per file (most likely due to dbus not having
a threadpool and not having unix-domain-socket listeners in its server
back-end).
i have a question for you: is there the possibility of a race
condition in between udev creating nodes in /dev, and the
scripts in /etc/dev.d/default getting at them?
for example, could /dev/usbtts0 be created if i plug in a USB modem,
and hotplug or a manual process fire up pppd BEFORE
/etc/dev.d/default/selinux gets to it?
because if so, things are going to fail unexpectedly.
how has this issue been addressed in udev, and also, whilst
i realise that Fedora accept the /etc/dev.d/default/selinux
change, it should concern you that gentoo do not [and therefore,
like a lemming oblique stroke sheep, i'd rather not, for my
debian distro].
