Hi, Today I have posted 2 new versions of Dazuko.
2.2.2-pre1: This is a continuation of the stable 2.2.x branch. It fixes compile errors on FreeBSD and some problems with identifying the Linux kernel version. Both of these fixes are actually pretty important (for getting Dazuko compiled and installed), so I plan to release 2.2.2 very soon. 2.3.0: This is an official release that adds an option to support system call table hooking for Linux 2.6. By default, Dazuko will still use LSM by default on Linux 2.6. But you may configure it to use syscalls with something like: $ ./configure --enable-syscalls --mapfile=/boot/System.map-`uname -r` Of course, it is very important that you specify the correct mapfile. If Dazuko is configured to use syscalls, it will not use LSM at all. This avoids all the AppArmor and Capability problems that continually reoccur. I decided to allow syscall hooking for Linux 2.6 because the LSM API continually becomes more difficult to access (because other modules such as AppArmor or Capabilities won't share). LSM is also possibly scheduled for removal from the Linux kernel because it has caused way more problems then it has solved (and SElinux actually provides all you need, anyway). The future of Dazuko is DazukoFS, which will be available for Dazuko 3.0. However, it is still in early internal testing stages and is not ready for production use. Allowing syscall hooking gives the Dazuko project more time to implement and test DazukoFS without worrying that LSM is disappearing. If you go to the Dazuko downloads page, you will notice that 2.3.0 is not listed as the latest stable release. Although the Linux 2.6 syscall hooking has been extensively tested over the past few weeks, it caused signifcant code changes in the Linux 2.4 code (shared code). Until we have performed more tests to make sure Linux 2.4 support isn't "damaged", I want 2.3.0 to sit in the development section. Many thanks to Sami Tikka and Kevin Kofler. Without you guys I would not have had time to get Linux 2.6 syscall hooking integrated.
