BSD Secure Levels, w/out magicpath

Subject:  [PATCH] BSD Secure Levels, w/out magicpath
Date:  Mon, 5 Jan 2004 17:04:17 -0600

Magicpath was redundant, so I removed it, in preference to the
password-based seclvl reduction.  I made the patch against the vanilla
2.6.0 kernel.  It depends on Serge's settime patch.  I haven't heard
much discussion regarding it on this list though.  Are we ready to
send these patches to the LKML?

Mike

+/**
+ * Changelog:
+ *    01/05/2004  Updated by Michael A. Halcrow:
+ *      1. Removed magicpath kludge
+ *
+ *    12/02/2003  Updated by Michael A. Halcrow:
+ *      1. Removed seclvl from /proc filesystem.
+ *      2. Generated seclvl directory, with seclvl and passwd
+ *              attributes, in the sysfs filesystem.
+ *      3. Implemented password-based secure level reduction.  The
+ *              password may be passed in either as plain text via the
+ *              plaintextPassword module parameter, or in its
+ *              hexadecimal SHA1 form via the sha1Password module
+ *              parameter.  Note that you can generate the SHA1
+ *              representation of a password with the sha1sum utility:
+ *              echo -n "secret" | sha1sum
+ *      4. Implemented rate-limiting of kernel messages to the log.
+ *
+ *    11/24/2003  Updated by Michael A. Halcrow:
+ *      1. Added verbosity support.
+ *
+ *    11/13/2003  Updated by Michael A. Halcrow:
+ *      1. Polished up code and comments for first patch submission to
+ *              LSM dev.
+ *
+ *    10/23/2003  Updated by Serge Hallyn:
+ *	1. Fixed settime hook which was being activated on seclvl >= 1,
+ *		not seclvl > 1, as it should be.
+ *	2. (perhaps temp) Removed the secondary_ops support.  We can
+ *		add that back in later when all is fixed.  In the
+ *		mean time it's a distraction.
+ *	3. Removed dentry-related code.  We're not using it, and we
+ *		could not submit something with that in it.
+ *
+ *    10/20/2003  Updated by Serge Hallyn:
+ *	1. Optimistically re-based the patch off three new LSM hooks
+ *		whose re-introduction this project will hopefully
+ *		justify
+ *	2. Replaced the sysctl interface with a simple proc file, to
+ *		avoid the need to patch include/linux/sysctl.h
+ *	3. Capabilities code fix.
+ *	4. Removed unused hooks.
+ *
+ *    9/2003      Bulk of functionality written by Michael A. Halcrow
+ *
+ *    4/2003      Updated by Kent Yoder
+ *
+ *    4/2003      Updated by Jerone Young
+ *
+ *    4/2003      Created by Robb Romans
