Hi,

In security/selinux/ss/services.c at the selinux_audit_rule_init() function \
is this code:

        if (!ss_initialized)
                return -ENOTSUPP;

The audit system sends that to user space, but its a special value that is
supposed to be internal to the kernel. Should the audit system look for \
this value and change it when it calls the function, or should we change \
this value in the selinux code? And if we change it, what should it be? \
EINVAL doesn't make sense as the syntax of what's being asked to do is \
correct. Should we define something like ENOMAC?

-Steve
