I suppose it's bad form to mention a free choice on the tail of a commerical announcement, but never mind;-) I had a quick look at a LIDS-enabled distribution, Enguarde Linux. It's not a big download if anyone wants to look more closely, and I'm sure it's in need of porting to S/390. At first glance it's quite impressive - with the secure kernel booted, as root I couldn't change critical system files, and as a regular user I couldn't even see the contents of /etc. I only got a quick look, the computer has other duties. The distro hss a 2.2 kernel, but LIDS is also available on 2.4 kernels (up to 2.4.16 I think). -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition.
