Secure Linux OS seeks global dominance (ZDNet)

Here's a ZDNet article on security, and the NSA's SELinux. "The lynchpin in SELinux security is mandatory access control, a method that NSA championed as early as October 1998 in a white paper on computer security failures. The problem is, mandatory access control systems can't do a thing if they don't have rules to follow. Having your developers write all those rules would be cumbersome to say the least, a fact not lost on CPI."
