Secure Linux

Secure Linux

[Dale Amon]

Has anyone else signed up on the NSA's secure Linux
discussion list? The idea of NSA backing the development
of  a secure GPL'd linux is one I find intriguing. 

However I have only seen one posting. Is there anyone
"real" involved with it?

	1) It is not "Secure Linux", it is "Security Enhanced Linux".
It's a proof of concept of adding type enforcement to the Linux kernel
and looks very promising.

	Why not join the selinux mailing list and find out?

	selinux@tycho.nsa.gov

	Seems to be a pretty active list.
