recently, you've claimed that it works, mechanically, just like MSDOS
Flu-shot+. To those who actually know what SELinux is about, neither of
those is true.
No, not "just like..." anything. However, it works similarly
in attempting to trap accesess which are considered suspect.
I wasn't trying to draw any closer analogy than that.
How many times does THAT need to be explained?
Until that other Mike McCarty stops posting crap about SELinux.
The apps I'm talking about are find, ls, mv, cp, ssh, etc.
Since the file contexts are required by the kernel, I see no reason
(none) that ls shouldn't be able to show them to me based on a command
line parameter. Otherwise, it's not "taking up cycles" as you have said.
Yes, "ls" doesn't. Other things do. I don't see why "ls" would need
to do anything more than have a few more bytes to format the state
of the extended attributes.
