The SELinux web site <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/> including the mail list archive has been updated. The site includes a new release of the LSM-based SELinux prototype. The stable (2.4) LSM-based SELinux prototype was updated to kernel 2.4.17 and was updated to include a number of bug fixes and minor enhancements made since the previous release. A new development (2.5) LSM-based SELinux prototype based on kernel 2.5.2 was also added to the site. The original SELinux prototype (which was not based on LSM) has been reduced to just the 2.2.19 and 2.4.3 kernel patches for historical reference. The technical report describing the design and implementation of the original 2.2 kernel patch is also still available for historical reference.

Thanks for the bug report. The selinux/selopt Makefiles assume that the /usr/local/selinux hierarchy has been created, and end up installing binaries as /usr/local/selinux/sbin if that directory has not already been created. That was a reasonable assumption for James, because selopt was originally intended to be installed after an initial install of SELinux. When we merged it, we didn't fix this. Sorry. The attached patch moves the selopt install after the utils install, at which point this assumption holds. Longer term, we should just fix the selopt Makefiles to create the target directories if necessary.
