hmm, may I ask why 2.4.23 and vs1.22 when there
is 2.4.24 and vs1.23? some kind of nostalgia?

reasons for not using 2.4.23 + vs1.22

 - mremap() syscall can gain priviledges
 - /dev/rtc leak parts of kernel memory
 - /procfs vulnerability

guess it works, but it needs some adaptations
(this should be solved in the devel branch)

replacing IS_IMMUTABLE either with IS_IMMUTABLE_FILE
or IS_IMMUTABLE_LINK, depending on the context
should solve this ...

sure would also be an option, but I guess the
changes are minimal ...

HTH,
Herbert

PS: volunteering to check the ACL stuff? if so
just let me know ...
