A large part of the disagreement about the way to manage the policy seems to be based on who will be the primary “owner” of the policy on the machine. This isn’t a problem that only applies to SE Linux, the same issue applies for various types of configuration files and scripts throughout the process […]

This can mean running an instance on someone else’s web server (some ISPs have special hosting deals for bloggers on popular platforms such as WordPress), but usually means having shell access to your own server (I’ve previously written about my search […] I have been asked about the current status of Lenny SE Linux on the Desktop. The first thing to consider is the combinations of policies and configurations. I will number them if only for the purpose of this post, if the numbering is considered generally helpful it could be more widely adopted to describe configurations. […] August 4th, 2008 | Tags: Best Posts, Debian, Most Popular, Selinux | Category: Security | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) I have written a script for Debian named selinux-activate which is included in selinux-basics version 0.3.3+nmu1 (which I have uploaded to Debian/Unstable). The script when run with no parameters will change the GRUB configuration to include selinux=1 on the kernel command-line and enable SE Linux support in the PAM modules for login, gdm, and kdm. […] August 1st, 2008 | Tags: Debian, Most Popular, Selinux | Category: Security | 5 comments - (Comments are closed) Currently Debian/Lenny contains all packages needed to run SE Linux apart from the policy. The policy package is missing because it needs to sit in unstable for a while before migrating to testing (Lenny), and I keep fixing bugs and uploading new versions. I have set up my own APT repository for SE Linux packages […] July 31st, 2008 | Tags: Debian, Most Popular, Selinux | Category: Security | 5 comments - (Comments are closed) I have just bought a EeePC 701 [1], I chose the old model because it’s significantly smaller than the 90x series and a bit lighter too and it had Linux pre-loaded. Also it was going cheap, while I am not paying for it I give the same attention to saving my clients’ money as to […] July 21st, 2008 | Tags: Best Posts, Debian, Most Popular | Category: Review | 6 comments - (Comments are closed) I’ve been considering the possibility of using Xen on an ASUS EeePC as a mobile test platform for an Internet service. While the real service uses some heavy hardware it seems that a small laptop could simulate it when running with a small data set (only a few dozen accounts) and everything tuned for small […] July 16th, 2008 | Tags: Most Popular | Category: Virtualisation | 10 comments - (Comments are closed) There has been a lot of fuss recently about the release of the iPhone [1] in Australia. But I have not been impressed. I read an interesting post Why I don’t want an iPhone [2] which summarises some of the issues of it not being an open platform (and not having SSH client support). Given […] Someone asked on a mailing list about the issues related to whether to use a label, UUID, or device name for /etc/fstab. The first thing to consider is where the names come from. The UUID is assigned automatically by mkfs or mkswap, so you have to discover it after the filesystem or swap space has […] July 8th, 2008 | Tags: Best Posts, Most Popular | Category: Misc Computer | 6 comments - (Comments are closed) I have just observed demonstration units of the V-Smile system [1]. They have “educational games” aimed at ages 3-5, 4-7, and some similar ranges. The first thing I noticed was that children who were able to correctly play the games were a lot older than the designated ages. For example 10yo children were playing the […] |
