I'm not sure entirely how much work has been done towards a debian package, but I know that Nima has both a script that may be useful since it checks the trustees.conf a bit more thoroughly than the regular settrustees command does, and he also has some work done on a manpage. I know he is a bit stalled right now as I am still working on getting some rather large changes into subversion and I have neglected to answer a few questions he has had to completely finish the manpage. > Ouch... > > So it would be a tricky as far as the capabilities module is loaded in the > initrd image. That could really be a showstopper towards a debian package, as I was rather sure that some of the new debian/ubuntu stuff (hald perhaps) was always checking that the capabilities module was loaded at start. Perhaps the debian kernel patch package will require the stacking patches as well and a modified trustees to work with it? ( I don't believe it will take much work at all to get trustees to work with the stacking stuff since it does not use the security fields on various filesystem objects ) - Andy |
