Description Steve Grubb 2008-05-15 18:31:01 UTC

Description of problem:
Al Viro submitted a patch that gives another option to have audit rules trigger
on a specific kind of file. I think he said it was commit
8b67dca9420474623709e00d72a066068a502b20 in mainline kernel.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2008-07-25 17:03:46 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Comment 2 Ludek Smid 2008-07-25 21:53:52 UTC

Unfortunately the previous automated notification about the
non-inclusion of this request in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 used
the wrong text template. It should have read: this request has been
reviewed by Product Management and is not planned for inclusion
in the current minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

If you would like this request to be reviewed for the next minor
release, ask your support representative to set the next rhel-x.y
flag to "?" or raise an exception.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2008-07-28 15:43:00 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.
