So, I finally installed devfs with 2.6.8.1-rsbac myself to see what the 
problem was. You should have been seeing the error message:

dazuko: unable to register device chrdev, err=-16

This is because there is a bug in the Dazuko/RSBAC code for 2.6.x. 
Looking over at how the normal Dazuko Linux 2.6.x code does it, it was 
easy to spot the problem. I have fixed the code but it is only available 
through CVS.

$ env CVS_RSH="ssh" cvs -z3 \
-d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/dazuko \
co dazuko


Just copy the dazuko_rsbac.c file to:

/usr/src/linux/rsbac/adf/daz/daz_main.c

and recompile your kernel. Then it should work.

I also noticed that devfsd is creating the dazuko device with 
permissions of "600 root:root". This means that unless you change the 
permissions, you will have to be root to access /dev/dazuko. I am sure 
there is a way to specify what devfsd should do when creating device 
nodes, but I do not know it.
