Device '/dev/kmem' and patches on Fedorakernel.

[maillist at wolke7.net]

Hi,

a little C&P:

fc2t2>id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
context=root:staff_r:staff_t
fc2t2>ls -la /dev/kmem 
crw-r-----  1 root kmem 1, 2 Feb 23 22:02 /dev/kmem
fc2t2>cat  /dev/kmem
cat: /dev/kmem: Operation not permitted
fc2t2>


Which patch from the default Fedora-Kernel (fc2t2) is responsible
for this behaviour and how can i disable this security feature?


My another important Question:
Is there a listing for all of the patches (security and another),
they are submitted for Fedorakernel?  Can i use the clean Linus-Kernel
from kernel.org, or there are to make to many necessary adjustments
in order to use the clean Linus-Kernel ( Old_RedHat was here quite evil ;)
)?

Thanks in Advance
Marco
