 |
|
I am wondering whether these 2 variants are equal. In the new kernel I choose variant 1:
| Code: |
# CONFIG_SECURITY is not set
|
while formerly I used variant 2
| Code: |
CONFIG_SECURITY=y
# CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK is not set
CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=y
# CONFIG_SECURITY_ROOTPLUG is not set
# CONFIG_SECURITY_SECLVL is not set
# CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX is not set
|
The reason for my question is that a lot of source files were recompiled even if the menu help in the kernel config says nearly the same (or not ?):
variant1:
| Code: |
If this option is not selected, the default Linux security
model will be used.
|
and variant2:
| Code: |
CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES:
This enables the "default" Linux capabilities functionality.
If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y.
