Re: temporal role base access control in Linux

Hello Cliffe,

I Believe, I  provided enough information to be able to achieve what has 
been asked here.

Anyway I'm bound to the US rules and abide and respect them, and 
definitely am not a Lawyer, however my concern was not EAR (Export 
Administration Regulations) the law is much more complicated than just 
an export control regulation,

By considering the source of the message coming from a known University 
in Iran working on dual purpose subjects, I personally prefer not to 
help particularly (on implementation basis), and I think I have such right.

Tried to help as much as I could.

Providing legal advice requires attorney-client privilege/relationship 
and I don't think just Google search result would be enough in such case.

Anyway this is not a legal mailing list, technical aspects have been 
covered as much as it should, if you would like you may add additional 
notes.

Best Regards,

Patrick K.
