Dang and I was already attached to the previous mapping.

I'll attempt a mapping to these, too, but I do like the 'marketing' spin on
the CISSP side.  

Besdies, who's ever heard of the SSCP?  I can't even get the acronym
correct when I speak of it.  Always ends up as CSSP, SCCP, CCCP, ... :)

No, they're in 303.  In host-based AC but it'll probably get broken out.

Possibly.  I'll leave all of DAC, MAC and RBAC in the 303 for now.
We can always push some of it down into LPIC-2 at some point.

No doubt on that.  We seem to have picked some token and ubiquitous services
but people want to seem to focus that way.

Ah, I wasn't thinking a total mapping but an 'applied subset' (by applied, I
mean non-theory).
