Hi!

1.0.9b-pre1 is uploaded. It includes the already posted bugfixes, some  
minor addons (check on boot) and the first part of 2.3.42 support.

Attention: Admin tools have to be recompiled when switching between 2.2  
and 2.3 series due to limited syscall numbers. The attributes are (and  
will be) fully compatible, though.

pre1 is fully functional with 2.3.42, but limited to 16 bit uids/gids and  
old syscalls, which are used by all older programs anyway.

To do:

- add 32 Bit uid/gid support: this will need a new binary on-disk version,
  so at the first 1.0.9b-pre2 boot there will be an irreversible
  upconversion. Also, special uid values might be changed during
  upconvert, e.g. rsbac_no_user, rsbac_all_users. Of course you can
  prevent writing of upconverted binaries to disk by setting
  RSBAC_NO_WRITE in kernel config, as usual.
- hook the new syscalls in 2.3.42: 32 Bit setuid etc.
- support for other archs (alpha, ppc, sparc?)

Amon.
