Perfect, that is the link (and reassurance) that I was looking for. > The "Trusted Debian" project is based on RSBAC which is not as widely > supported as SE Linux.

Hmmm, that's almost the opposite of what they say (see http://www.trusteddebian.org/rsbac.html): - SE-Linux makes extensive changes to existing Linux tools, possibly leading to a horrible versioning mess and delays in security updates - RSBAC does not need any changes to existing tools, although it could benefit from such changes. Still I don't agree with most of their statements ... RSBAC may be a great project, and I hope that it works out, but I am more inclined to trust code that was developed at the NSA and audited by many developers than a project I have only just heard about, a project which may have only a single developer (or at least a pretty quiet mailing list). > Also there seems to be no information on who makes this "Trusted Debian". > The mailing list archives are broken links and there is no public > information on who is behind the project. The list archive worked for me ... http://www.rsbac.org/pipermail/rsbac/ Thanks for the feedback and SE-Linux link. I have already read the HOWTO and compiled a Debian kernel for myself, before proceeding I will read the FAQ on NSA's site. -- Fraser Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://wehave.net/ Brampton, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
