Re: temporal role base access control in Linux

[Cliffe <cliffe@ii.net>]

Hi Patrick,

No worries. Yes, I am not a lawyer. It is obviously entirely your 
prerogative, and I am not criticising the help you provided. To be 
honest, I just found it strange that you would choose to point out what 
country they were from and who SELinux was developed by, as if that made 
them less entitled to help with an open source project. Sorry if you 
feel I overreacted.

I don't have anything to add to your implementation suggestions, thanks 
for sharing.

Cliffe.
