I am a newcomer to Dazuko and would like to know if anyone could
describe Dazuko with reference to SELinux. Are both trying to
accomplish similar tasks?
Hi,
SELinux was designed to support various security policies on your system.
For a quick reference, you may want to take a look at the SELinux FAQ:
http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/info/faq.cfm
Dazuko, on the other hand, simply provides an interface for *userland* file
access control. Dazuko is used by many anti-virus products to support
on-access scanning. It could also be used if you wanted to write a simple
program to monitor or dynamically control which files users access.
For example, using Dazuko you could write a simple perl script that denies
access to a certain directory during certain times. Or you could monitor the
file activity of a certain user or a certain process.
Dazuko may or may not be used for security. It is there to provide a
*userland* interface for file access control.
