Dear Michelle, The real problem at the moment is that NONE of us can package SNARE in its current state. That's what I was saying in the last email. I've been talking about this with Leigh Purdie (upstream) on a weekly basis. SNARE can no longer work with 2.4.18+ kernels because they've internalised the sys_call_table facility, meaning that external modules can no longer hook into the kernel's system calls to provide C2 auditing. If it wasn't for this, I would have released a package ages ago! I wasn't exactly counting on someone else filing an ITP on the meantime, but I'll be happy to cooperate with you guys on SNARE and other InterSect tools in future. So pretty much, we'll all have to wait for InterSect with Alan Cox and the Red Hat kernel team to get some patches accepted into the kernel or made publicly available before any of us can get SNARE packaged. I'll keep you up to date if anymore news comes to hand. Yours sincerely, Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Andrew 'Netsnipe' Lau Computer Science & Sturep, UNSW * * "apt-get into it" Debian GNU/Linux Packager * * <netsnipe(+)debianplanet.org\0> <alau(+)cse.unsw.edu.au\0> * * GnuPG 1024D/2E8B68BD 0B77 73D0 4F3B F286 63F1 9F4A 9B24 C07D 2E8B 68BD * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
