NAME

       rsbac_write  -  request  the  modified data structures to be written to
       disk

SYNOPSIS

       rsbac_write

DESCRIPTION

        RSBAC has two locations of ACI (Access Control information): on  disks
       and  in  the  computer’s RAM. During system boot RSBAC ACI is read from
       disk and placed into appropriate data structures in kernel memory. When
       you  change  some  attributes,  you really made changes in RAM storage.
       RSBAC syncs modified data from RAM to disk every few seconds (2 secs by
       default,  see  kernel  config).  So, you can loose your changes on some
       unexpected system damage.

       Use rsbac_write, if you want to write the changed RSBAC  attributes  to
       disk  immediately,  or  to  get  it  written  at  all,  if you disabled
       automatic writing in kernel config. Please note that the data will also
       be written when the respective filesystem gets umounted.
