First the good news. Last week I gave a presentation about secure operating systems, running the slides on Staroffice 6.0 beta on SELinux 20011016. It ran smoothly like a humming bee. Great! It shows that this stuff is usable on a laptop.

This said, I would like to re-raise the importance of non-ext2 file system support, notably ReiserFS. It has been pointed out before, by Stephen Smalley, that this should in principle be easy to integrate (the per-node sec context needs to be stored in a file rather than in an unused field of the on-disk inode structure). However, I am not aware of anyone tackling this implementation.

Now, if someone could give me a few hints of where the additional code goes, I would like to volunteer some of my spare brain cycles to tackle this problem. ReiserFS support on SELinux would certainly not only make my day.

Regards

Harald
