Paranoia certainly *can* be a healthy thing, but in this case, you are making an assumption that the government gives a damn about what is on your box, which it almost certainly does not, unless you have a Muslim name. Also, according to their license page[1], the NSA releases SELinux under the GPL (or, in some cases, the BDSL), so that means the source is available. Read it, make sure there aren't backdoors in things like login. I am sure that people *do* read the source because of a (not unwarrented) distrust for the NSA, so backdoors probably have a pretty low probability of exisiting. And thanks to this thread, you and I must be in an NSA database of people to watch. Thanks a lot! ;) [1] http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/license.html -- Josh Glover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Associate Systems Administrator INCOGEN, Inc.
