From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-Id: Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 11:51:16 -0600 From: "Joshua Brindle" To: , , Subject: RE: Security Enhanced Linux distro Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-selinux@tycho.nsa.gov List-Id: selinux@tycho.nsa.gov I'm in the process of trying to integrate SELinux into Gentoo linux, if you don't know anything about it it's a source based distro with a very cool package management system. It was originally based on BSD Ports, but has since become a very full solution. It is dependancy based etc, has USE keywords to tell what support you want compiled in. Basically if a user has the SELinux USE keyword it'll patch the userland utils (with dependancy on the policy compiler and selinux kernel). This live system upgrade you mention, what is it about? I presume you mean the problem with having unlabeled files on the filesystem for some amount of time. In gentoo all apps install to a temp directory where the file list is enumerated and logged before copying to the live filesystem, is there any way for me to label these files while in the temp directory, so that they are labeled when they are copied to the live filesystem and this latency between installation and labeling isn't a problem?
