Re: porting to 2.4?

We have started work on porting to the 2.4 kernel. The new operating system components added by the Flask architecture (the security server and the access vector cache) have been ported. The support for labeling processes and file-related objects has also been ported. The port of process and file-related mandatory access controls is underway, as is the port of the network-related labeling. So far, the port has been relatively straightforward.

If you have reviewed the design and implementation of the Flask security changes for the 2.2 kernel and have any constructive suggestions (or even improved implementations) for future versions, let us know. Likewise, if you have experimented with using the system and have any constructive suggestions, let us know.

If you want to tackle some aspect of the port, whether porting existing code, improving the implementation of some existing code, designing and implementing similar controls for some aspect of the kernel that we haven't covered (especially new features in the 2.4 kernel like devfs), then let us know.
