Currently I am waiting on the packages libsepol1 version 2.0.30-2, policycoreutils 2.0.49-3, and selinux-policy-default version 0.0.20080702-4 to make their way to testing.

He makes some interesting comparisons with the way that corporations work. Top 10 strangest terrorism patents [2].

When I first started using SE Linux (in 2001) the kernel knew where to find the policy file and would just read the [...] 77020 packets transmitted, 18029 received, 76% packet loss, time 77049435ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 20.026/130.848/2245.752/287.550 ms, pipe 3 Above are the ping results from pinging my server (hosted on a business DSL connection). Telstra stuffed up and appear to have entirely disconnected DSL for a few suburbs (based on reports from a client who has several [...] |
