Please apply the attached patch (against 2.4.18) to reserve a syscall number for the security interface.

A number has already been reserved and accepted by Linus for the i386, alpha and cris architectures, at the time the reservation was requested, none of the LSM developers had IA64 machines so it slipped through the cracks.

Thanks,

richard.

Not true, I have access to ia64 hardware, and have successfully run LSM modified kernels on them in the past. I was merely waiting for the LSM code to make it into the mainline kernel before bothering the other arch maintainers.

Thanks David for accepting this patch and reserving a number for us.
