After some (probably a bit more than a few) hours scratching my head, my problem was indeed a misconfiguration. The module was built, but never set as default despite appearing as such in the config (lesson learned be extra careful with Makefile and Kconfig files).<div><br></div><div>Thank you everyone for your help and advices, at the end of the day it boiled down to my own stupidity/lack of attention.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue Jan 20 2015 at 20:11:22 Dave Tian <<a href="mailto:dave.jing.tian@gmail.com" target="_blank">dave.jing.tian@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div>Tested on Fedora 21 using kernel 3.18.3 and there is nothing wrong with LSM.

I have tried to create a new LSM based on yama and boot it as the default on my Ubuntu 14.04 (kernel 3.13). It works smoothly. I have NOT tried Fedora with kernel 3.18 yet but I do not think there would be some changes breaking LSM, which has been there for years…Would you please recheck your Kconfig and Makefile? At least, you should see the logging “Security Framework initialized" from dmesg, saying the LSM is init’d, after which your LSM should be loaded presumably.<br>
