Just sayin' ;) Ah, that is a good idea as some systems do want to gpg sign kernel modules, I would love it if someone dug up the Red Hat patches, ported it to the in-kernel mpi library (which I think will be in 3.2) and got it merged. Actually, anyone have any pointers to the Red Hat patch, I might consider doing this myself as I wrote the first gpg signed kernel code years ago and I would like to see this finally merged. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
