If we are flushing the policy database, we are flushing it regardless of what the security layer might or might not say. I would look at this patch differently if there were some security level key being checked for a match here, which is an input key to the flush, but that is not what is happening here as the object is being looked at by itself. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
