Look for open() on /dev/pts? logging in...this is really a userspace notion, so via PAM. creating a new process or changing credentials of a new process are the types of things that lsm watches (and of course, opening of files). > 2) root_plug currently scans the usb device tree looking for the > appropriate device each time it's needed.

I don't think that can be done in a race free manner. Perhaps get the device and check its state, but you'd have to ask usb folks. ATM, it's only checked during exec of root process. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
