Subject[PATCH] IMA: remove read permissions on the ima policy file
Date
The IMA policy file does not implement read.  Trying to just open/read/close
the file will load a blank policy and you cannot then change the policy
without a reboot. This removes the read permission from the file so one must
at least be attempting to write...
