Thank you really for your quick answer, it saved me from a lot of worry a=
s the deadline of the project is coming...

This **solved my issue** :) btw I had those code lines from the:

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/ima/INSTALL

-----------------------------------------------------------------
if (write(fd_mreq, mr, sizeof(struct measure_request))         -- (A)
        <error measuring>;                                      |
/* now use the file -- see NOTE below */                        |- protec=
ted
...                                                             |  sectio=
n (see Note)
/* then close the file */                                       |
close(fd_config)                                               -- (B)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

So this is a sort of "bug report" within the documentation, nothing serio=
us but I trusted them and didn't check the write.

Take care and thanks again,
