This permission is currently granted in an ifdef(systemd) block, but
it's also required on non-systemd systems if signed kernel modules are
being used.

As we have had no response from Busybox users in the last 3 months and also no
response to the thread Luis started in 2013 I think it's safe to assume that
they don't need this.
I've attached a new patch which renames to kmod_t as you suggested. Please
consider it for inclusion.

Description: Change modutils policy to match the use of a single binary

Use nscd_use instead of nscd_socket_use. This conditionally allows
nscd_shm_use
Remove the nscd_socket_use from ssh_keygen since it was redundant
already allowed by auth_use_nsswitch
Had to make some ssh_keysign_t rules unconditional else
nscd_use(ssh_keysign_t) would not build (nested booleans) but that does
not matter, the only actual domain transition to ssh_keysign_t is
conditional so the other unconditional ssh_keygen_t rules are
conditional in practice

The modprobe utility is sometimes used (for instance for ALSA) to request
the Linux kernel to load a module (through aliases) rather than explicitly
loading the module.

update-modules on Gentoo throws errors when run because it sources /etc/init.d/functions.sh, which always scans /var/lib/init.d to set SOFTLEVEL environment var. This is never used by update-modules.
