SECURITY ENHANCED LINUX

[admin]

"For those who seek enhanced, tightened security control over
their Linux systems, SELinux may be the answer. Standing for
Security-Enhanced Linux, it is a result of research projects
from the NSA (National Security Agency) in the US and focuses on
mandatory access controls which offers powerful controls over
users and devices as well as applications and services.
SELinux is released as a set of kernel patches which wraps into
an existing Linux installation. The NSA states they have tested
it successfully only on Red Hat.

In the same vein, the Red Hat community has just announced
integration with SELinux into its latest test release of Fedora
(core 2), the replacement for Red Hat's Professional series of
distributions which ended with version 9. Red Hat facilitates
the Fedora project but does not officially support it. However,
it is obvious the goal is to test out and find the best
improvements that can then make there way into Red Hat's
official Enterprise Linux products."
