Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org from the project announcement on freshmeat: Dazuko 2.0.0-pre5 (Default) by John Ogness - Tuesday, November 11th 2003 06:56 PST About: This project provides a kernel module which provides 3rd-party applications with an interface for file access control. It was originally developed for on-access virus scanning. Other uses include a file-access monitor/logger or external security implementations. It operates by intercepting file-access calls and passing the file information to a 3rd-party application. The 3rd-party application then has the opportunity to tell the kernel module to allow or deny the file-access. The 3rd-party application also receives information about the file, such as type of access, process ID, user ID, etc. Release focus: Minor bugfixes Changes: Some "in use" problems with spontaneous context-switches when unloading under FreeBSD were fixed. Macros for hooking/unhooking system calls were added. Filename length restrictions were removed. Code for generating protocol13 was abstracted and moved into XP layer. Support for filenames with non-printable characters was added. The ability to compile the interface library without 1.x compatibility was added. An "off by one" bug which occurred when calculating include/exclude path lengths was fixed. Support for Linux 2.6 kernels was added (not yet complete, but very functional).
