I question why SARA and LandLock require stacking. While some LSMs may benefit from stacking, e.g. Yama, traditionally each LSM has been able to stand on its own.

I would hope that audit could help for that case. *stare at blue sky* *also staring at blue sky* Audit can help, but it is independent of the LSMs and not a hard requirement for all, and even when it is enabled the config might not be suitable to provide enough information to be helpful in this case. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com
