This code has only been out for 2 days and is a research project prototype at that, and we are already talking about adding it to the main line ? [ from the overview ] This work is not intended as a complete security solution for Linux. ... Instead, it is simply an example of how mandatory access controls that can ******* confine the actions of any process, including a superuser process, can be added into Linux. The focus of this work has not been on system assurance or other security features such as security auditing, although these elements are also important for a secure system. Robert Watson (on the TrustedBSD list) says it best. Figuring out how the SELinux implementation fits into the bigger picture will be important -- it represents a large step forward in terms of the availability of secure open source operating systems. This is good, interesting code, but that doesn't mean its ready for prime time distribution yet. I must be old, I'm getting too conservative.... richard. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Offer Widget FAQ --> http://reality.sgi.com/widgetFAQ/ {X,Motif,Trust} on {Irix,Linux} __________________________________________http://reality.sgi.com/offer/ You have received this message because you are subscribed to the selinux list.
