Hi folks!

There will be no 2.4.x kernel support for 1.0.9b. The fundamental
changes in the kernel lookup, from dentry based lookup to nameidata based
lookup, also require fundamental changes in RSBAC name lookup, inheritance, etc.

I am currently struggling with the inheritance code - still unsure, whether
attribute inheritance will soon be got to work correctly over mount boundaries.
Whoever removed the d_covers entry from the dentry struct caused me some real
headaches...

The lookup should be working now, but is still untested.

Amon.
