The 'Installation and Administration Instructions' say that I don't need
any admin-tools to boot? Is this only true for the first boot?

-----
The Kernel -> Kernel Configuration and Compilation:
With RSBAC versions before 1.0.9b, you must install the administration
tools before reboot, specially the useraci file in it should go into
/rsbac (see below), otherwise your system will not come up!

Administration Tools -> Installation:
The administration tools in the rsbac-admin-*.tar.gz file can be
extracted into any directory, e.g. /root/rsbac, by typing tar xvzf
rsbac-admin-*.tar.gz.
----

So if rsbac-admin can be located anywhere it can't be found and can't be
necessary?

Yes that's it, thanks. The first line and I didn't see it ...
