From 83fa6bbe4c4541ae748b550b4ec391f8a0acfe94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 09:39:29 -0400 Subject: audit: remove CONFIG_AUDIT_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE After trying to use this feature in Fedora we found the hard coding policy like this into the kernel was a bad idea. Surprise surprise. We ran into these problems because it was impossible to launch a container as a logged in user and run a login daemon inside that container. This reverts back to the old behavior before this option was added. The option will be re-added in a userspace selectable manor such that userspace can choose when it is and when it is not appropriate.
