Message-Id: <20040729094717.GE6443@lkcl.net> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org 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]. l. -- -- Information I post is with honesty, integrity, and the expectation that you will take full responsibility if acting on the information contained, and that, should you find it to be flawed or even mildly useful, you will act with both honesty and integrity in return - and tell me. -- lkcl.net
