[LUG] Trusted Linux will wear a Red Hat

[Ronny]

Tried selinux?Give it a try you won't stop !! Hammersla says IBM and HP made it "pretty clear" that they would prefer to be involved with a more recognized Linux distribution, and even the National Security Agency is more comfortable with a mainstream distro. Hammersla liked Red Hat because it had already embraced SELinux in "a more thorough way." So TCS and IBM approached Red Hat. Paul Smith, vice president of government sales operations for Red Hat, says that the company is putting the "next layer" on TCS's kernel. He says that Red Hat was headed in the hardened Linux direction already. "About a year ago Red Hat embarked on a research project with the NSA and part of that project, in conjunction with the community, was to develop a more hardened secure version of Linux for intelligence agencies." The result of that research is something Smith calls an "embrace of the code set that is SELinux." http://os.newsforge.com/os/05/09/30/1551203.shtml?tid=2&tid=78&tid=138 Nice weekend where do I go from here? :-\ -- ******************************************************************* PGP Fingerprint: 6695 794A B84E D922 88FB 73CC 6CBD 8036 B3CD 7304 We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are *******************************************************************
