Hi!

It was and is still strange when reading this, but

from linux/security/root_plug.c:
[...]
* Prevents any programs running with egid == 0 if a specific USB device
^^^^^^^^
* is not present in the system. Yes, it can be gotten around, but is a
^^^^^^^^^^^

from linux/security/Kconfig
[...]
          This is a sample LSM module that should only be used as such.
          It enables control over processes being created by root users
             ^^^^^^^
          if a specific USB device is not present in the system.
                                      ^^^
I thinks, that "not" should not be in Kconfig.

BYtE
Philipp
