Sorry if i pollute the wrong list with my stuff. But SMACK does not seem 
to have it's own list and now lives in the kernel. Though this is 
userspace related...

The smack howto mentions a not yet implemented smack option for 
start-stop-daemon.
We mainly use startproc. So i made a patch which adds this functionality 
to startproc.

It adds the option [-S LABEL] to startproc, which brings the called 
process up with /proc/self/attr/current = LABEL.
I figured setting the security context should happen after things like 
pidfiles where written. But this is certainly up for discussion.

This patch applies to killproc version 2.08.

Please enjoy and comment.

Regards
  Tilman Baumann
