The code has been worked on extensively by people who are not associated with the NSA, so at this point I'm not concerned that it harbours intended vulnerabilities. Also remember that SELinux adds to the security of a system: the Linux discretionary access controls are checked first. Only if the operation is allowed is SELinux invoked to apply the security policy. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
