Are you aware that menuconfig has a search option? press "/" just like vi or less, enter "USER_NS" and get: │ Symbol: USER_NS [=n] │ │ Type : boolean │ │ Prompt: User namespace (EXPERIMENTAL) │ │ Defined at init/Kconfig:888 │ │ Depends on: NAMESPACES [=y] && EXPERIMENTAL [=y] && UIDGID_CON│ │ Location: │ │ -> General setup │ │ -> Namespaces support (NAMESPACES [=y]) │ │ Selects: UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS [=n] │ Saves mucking about with all that tedious and unreliable greping -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
