Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2008-01-31 20:55:18 UTC 
With this patch, if you change your selinux settings, you also have to rebuild
your initrd.  Which is kind of crappy
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2008-01-31 21:00:43 UTC 
It reads the config from the root fs, not the initrd.
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2008-02-01 16:34:07 UTC 
It reads the config from the rootfs when we build the initrd.  Sourcing the file
from the script running in nash is going to be ugly, though.  And another
built-in is just piling on more hacks.  Must. bash-ify. initrd.
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2008-02-01 16:37:43 UTC 
Well, you can just always add 'load_policy'  instead; it won't do anything if
it's not configured at the time it boots.
Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2008-02-25 21:00:41 UTC 
This should be fixed in 6.0.30-1.
