Example : switching LIDS

You can switch LIDS totally off and on, as if the kernel was not patched :

lidsadm -S -- -LIDS
foo
lidsadm -S -- +LIDS

Note that if you work on protected files and do something that modify their device or inode number, they won't be protected anymore as these numbers are only read at startup and when reloading conf. Don't forget to issue a lidsadm -S - +RELOAD_CONF.

You can also switch LIDS only locally. That means that LIDS will seems off only for the program which executed lidsadm (usually a shell), and for programs whose parent, grand-parent or grand-grand-parent is this shell.

lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_LOCAL
foo
lidsadm -S -- +LIDS_LOCAL
