Not right now. I haven't discovered a way to add
an entry to /proc
without patching the kernel, and I don't want to do that. There is a
new `sysfs' in 2.6 that seems to allow similar kinds of dynamic
control. I haven't figured out how to use that yet.
patching is not necessary. look at
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h
there are the functions for creating a proc entry.
should be some 10 lines of code including handling the string to int
conversion.
The load time access is not so bad. You can rmmod and then reload the
LSM if you want to change its parameters. I've been doing that a lot
for testing. This has no effect on processes that are already
running.
thats why i dont consider it necessary. what do you need the proc entry
for fernando ?
the question is, if we want to backport the functionality to 2.4...
then we would need the proc entry in the 2.6 module also for
consistency.
