AUDIT isn't quite library code, still I don't have a (big) problem with
selecting it or NETWORK_SECMARK. (other than select is evil :)
OTOH, NET and INET are large config options, not library-like code, and
should not be selected.
If it does a 'select SECURITY_NETWORK' but NET=n, does the resulting kernel
actually build? The problem seems to be that select isn't transitive - if
you select something, it won't automagically select that something's pre-reqs
(modulo the recent patches I've seen posted, have those been mainlined?).
Good point.
I haven't tested that, but it's most likely still a problem.
"select" does not follow its dependency chain...
