With the well-documented manuals, I'm successfully testing several access control policies. (Thanks to all contributors :) ) I've been testing role dominance relation. expecially, the transitivity of role dominance relation. prof_r > (osg_r, dbg_r) > stud_r as; dominance { role prof_r { role osg_r; role dbg_r; } } dominance { role osg_r { role stud_r; } } dominance { role dbg_r { role stud_r; } } # disabled direct relation #dominance { role prof_r { role stud_r; } } In the above relation, I guessed that the prof_r role can not inherit the types of stud_r as seeing below; login: dilee_u Password: Your default context is dilee_u:osg_r:osg_t. Do you want to choose a different one? [n]y [1] dilee_u:osg_r:osg_t [2] dilee_u:dbg_r:dbg_t [3] dilee_u:prof_r:prof_t Enter number of choice: And I also could not get the context of stud_r using the newrole command after getting the context of osg_r or dbg_r. Any comments on this problem??? Have a nice day. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Hyung Chan Kim Security Group, Concurrent System Research Laboratory Dept. of Information and Communications Kwangju Institute of Science and Technology (K-JIST) 1 Oryong-dong Buk-ku Gwangju 500-712, Rep. of Korea Lab. : +82-62-970-2266 Fax : +82-62-970-2204 Mobile : +82-11-9660-4900 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
