/*
* Root Plug sample LSM module
*
* Originally written for a Linux Journal.
* Copyright (C) 2002 Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
* Prevents any programs running with egid == 0 if a specific USB device
* is not present in the system. Yes, it can be gotten around, but is a
* nice starting point for people to play with, and learn the LSM
* interface.
* If you want to turn this into something with a semblance of security,
* you need to hook the task_* functions also.
* See http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6279 for more information
