R: [rsbac] Re: 1.2.0 backport to 2.2 kernels?

[Alberto Guglielmo]

To encourage Marc Martinez.....
Especially if you employ it in a firewall, the 2.4.x kernel has many
advantages, one for all, iptables!
I currently have some firewall boxes with 2.4 kernels and RSBAC (1.1.2, I
wait 1.2 "stable" ...) with full satisfaction, ok, about full ;-)

I was personally very much looking forward to it so that I can easily
switch between 2.2 and 2.4 kernels with a new firewall box I'm building.
if there is not much real interest in it and the port does not happen
I can certainly manage, but I was hoping to be able to avoid
maintaining 2 different sets of rsbac utilities and have the CAP
management modules available for 2.2..

this is certainly a worthy argument for considering dropping the 2.2
support..

guess it's time to start testing a 2.4 kernel on the new box..
