Dear UML developer,
it was reported by Debian users that the new convention in sysvinit
package to prevent shm to be exec breaks some application.
For this moment, I mean in order to allow the upcoming stable release
Etch to be released, the changes to the package were reverted only to
avoid dosemu and u-m-l package related not to be broken.

As mentioned in the following mail [*], it would be possible to provide a
kernel side support for this sysvinit security need: the patch linked at
the

http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0609.2/1537.html

can come in help. Would it be possible to manage this issue/need in order
to introduce this patch in the kernel?
What do you think it would be good to fix this issue?

Thank you in advance

SteX
