root_plug.c
/*
 * Root Plug sample LSM module
 *
 * Originally written for a Linux Journal.
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2002 Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
 *
 * Prevents any programs running with egid == 0 if a specific USB device
 * is not present in the system.  Yes, it can be gotten around, but is a
 * nice starting point for people to play with, and learn the LSM
 * interface.
 *
 * If you want to turn this into something with a semblance of security,
 * you need to hook the task_* functions also.
 *
 * See http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6279 for more information
 * about this code.
