Re: [PATCH 2.6] fix zombie netlink socket in user space

[jamal <hadi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Theres also a fundamental issue in trying to control bind/connect
behavior with the way this patch tries to "fix" things. Theres at least
one app i know of which depends on this.
Dave, whats acceptable? My thinking is this should probably be
controlled by something like the SE linux path?

cheers,
jamal
