Hi,

I compiled a special kernel for dazuko called '2.6.17-6dazuko' on 2007.0 PWP i586. Here are snippets of my /boot/config file:

#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.17-6mdvcustom
# Sat Dec 16 20:34:49 2006
#
.....
# Security options
#
CONFIG_KEYS=y
CONFIG_KEYS_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS=y
CONFIG_SECURITY=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=m

As you can see my kernel has the proper settings for dazuko. But when I try to complile dazuko this is what I get:

[jeff@nx9010 dazuko-2.3.2]$ ./configure
checking host system type... Linux
checking for make utility... ok (make)
checking for C compiler... ok (cc)
kernel source in /lib/modules/2.6.17-6dazuko/source... yes
kernel build source in /lib/modules/2.6.17-6dazuko/build... yes
acquiring Linux kernel code configuration... ok
checking if Linux is RSBAC patched... yes (use --enable-rsbac to activate RSBAC API)
checking if devfs is enabled... no
discovered host system... Linux (2.6.17)
checking if security module support is enabled... no
error: security module support must be enabled in your kernel
[jeff@nx9010 dazuko-2.3.2]$

So how can I fix this?

Thanks,
Danno

Did you try configuring without RSBAC?
( ./configure --disable-rsbac )

[jeff@nx9010 dazuko-2.3.2]$ ./configure --disable-rsbac

Am I correct in assuming that '/boot/config' always applies to the currently running kernel? Just curious since I compiled the kernel to support dazuko according to the instructions.

Hi there... did a search as I had the same problem and saw this. I see it may be too late for you, but maybe for others like me looking for an answer here is what worked for me.
I noticed the line : checking if Linux is RSBAC patched... yes (use --enable-rsbac to activate RSBAC API)
So I tried:
./configure --enable-rsbac

very quickly the configure script mentioned it was done.

[root@garage dazuko-2.3.4]# ./configure --enable-rsbac
checking host system type... Linux
checking for make utility... ok (make)
checking for C compiler... ok (cc)
kernel source in /lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/source... yes
kernel build source in /lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/build... yes
acquiring Linux kernel code configuration... ok
checking if Linux is RSBAC patched... yes
checking if devfs is enabled... no
discovered host system... Linux (2.6.17)
configure: creating Makefile
configure: creating library/Makefile

./configure successful

=======================
Configuration summary
=======================

module events = ON_OPEN ON_CLOSE ON_EXEC
devfs support = no
rsbac support = yes
stacking support = yes
module debug = no
library 1.x compatibility = yes


Note: For RSBAC you should copy the contents of this directory to:
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/source/rsbac/adf/daz
and recompile the kernel. Also make sure that the DAZ module
has been enabled in the kernel configuration.

I hope this helps !!!!
