2 * Root Plug sample LSM module
4 * Originally written for a Linux Journal.
6 * Copyright (C) 2002 Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
8 * Prevents any programs running with egid == 0 if a specific USB device
9 * is not present in the system. Yes, it can be gotten around, but is a
10 * nice starting point for people to play with, and learn the LSM
13 * If you want to turn this into something with a semblance of security,
14 * you need to hook the task_* functions also.
