BSD-style securelevel comes to Linux — againBSD-style securelevel comes to Linux — againPosted Sep 13, 2013 2:08 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)In reply to: BSD-style securelevel comes to Linux — again by dashesy Parent article: BSD-style securelevel comes to Linux — again You lost me in the circular definition: anyone who is capable of owning is the owner. In normal English, anyone who actually does own is the owner. This appears to parse as, "the owner is a person who is capable of being the owner." So who is the person identifed in the sysfs file? The person who owns or the person who is capable of owning (there could be many or none, I guess). Likewise, does the OWNER security mode mean programs have the privileges of owning or just are capable of getting them? What it seems to come around to is that the highest security mode has to be called something other than OWNER in order for it to make any sense for a person to choose to run in a lower mode -- and that choice does make sense.
