RSBAC 1.3.5 has been released for both kernels 2.4.34.5 and 2.6.22.1. (Full announcement)

• Some safety mesures with null pointers.
• Fixes an important bug with User Management password hashing, introduced by newer 2.6 kernel’s API.
• Tool version string added to the rsbac_version command
• Reverted RSBAC libraries to install in /usr, disrespecting FHS, as distributions and libtool cannot play well together. (this has to be done per distribution)
