Hello Joy,
when NSA started researching for a better security model and invented
SELinux, they picked Linux kernel to implement it, as it is open source. I
don't know much about Group Policys in MS win os, but I am quite sure that
they are not the same. At the same time I want to ask you the same question
as *Tosh* did.

regards,

Ahmed Sharif
