Joey has proposed a new concept of “Continuously Usable Testing” for Debian [1], basically testing should be usable at all times and packages that aren’t usable should be dropped. But to properly achieve this goal we need continual testing of usability. The Plan For SE Linux To do this for SE Linux I’m setting up [...] A recent development in SE Linux policy is the concept of UBAC (User Based Access Control) which prevents SE Linux users (identitied) from accessing each other’s files. SE Linux user identities may map 1:1 to Unix users (as was required in the early versions of SE Linux), you might have unique identities for special users [...] I have just filed Debian bug report #556644 against the version of openssh-server in Debian/Unstable (Squeeze).

This may not sound exciting, but I know that a lot [...] This morning I gave a talk at the Security mini-conf of LCA about the status of SE Linux in Debian.
