Thanks John.

I'll give that a go.

You are trying to use the syscall hooking method on an SMP kernel. As the
"configure" output states, this is dangerous.

Since syscall hooking doesn't seem to be working for you (perhaps the
mapfile is not correct?), I recommend using Dazuko as an LSM module. This
may require building a new kernel with Capabilities as a module.
