[Linux-ima-user] IMA installation problem...

[Tamleek A. <tam...@gm...>]

i cant see ima enabled in the

    #dmesg | grep ima

the steps that i performed are as follows...

1. downloaded the ibm-ima latest patch from sourceforge.net i.e
ibm-ima-patch-2.6.22...

2. based on the patch downloaded the same kernel from kernel.org i.e.
linux-2.6.22.tar.gz..

3. copied both the files to /usr/src

4. uncompressed the kernel to get linux-2.6.22 directory in /usr/src

5. cd kernel directory

6. checked whether the patch works

    #patch -p1 --dry-run < ibm-ima-2.6.22.patch
    and then patched successfully
    #cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.22

7. #make ; make modules_install; make install;

8. booted with the kernel with options selinux = 0 ima=1

Now i cannot see any ima in the dmesg.

i need to ask that
1. i dont have a hardware TPM neither have software TPM... will it work
without the tpm ??
2. i couldnt do the menuconfig, as it didnt work on my system... can it be a
problem??
3. is it nessesary to have the same kernel version as of ima patch??

Help needed please.
