I would like to know:

1-  How does LSM pose a threat to kernel considering root kits and
2-  What is the treat model that grsec talks about when it comes to selinux?
3-  How are these threats not possible when there is no LSM?

As far as I can understand LSM is designed for speed and generality so
it lacks many hooks that are specific for a wide range of models.

4-  Why doest rsbac use extended attrbutes? Its a nice feature. The
load that ACI impose can be reduced to some extent.

5-  If possible, off the list topic but, how does grsec implement its
hooks? Can't find any details about it neither from any documentation
nor from their mailing list.

Shaz.
