A library helper that looks like what? Only NFS knows how it is storing that mount option in its blobs. Only NFS knows how to translate its blob into the generic LSM interface needed to set security options. I'd say the solution is going to have to be very much NFS specific. Both in kernel LSMs already provide methods for dealing with mount options for filesystems that use text strings (see the security_sb_copy_data stuff called from vfs_kern_mount()). How is this 'library' going to deal with anything other than a text string, and if that's all it deals with we already have that. NFS just can't use it because it isn't using a string for mount data. I'm sure I'm just misunderstanding how to design your solution... -Eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
