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

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

Hi All,

I applied the IMA patch  and then compiled the kernel successfully, with the
instructions given in the patch. However, still after rebooting and making
SELinux disable, i could not see any message regarding IMA in the "dmesg".

If any body can help me regarding installation of IMA, i will very thankful.

Thanking you in advance.
