Actually I believe that they have a policy against discussions of religion on the list.

Or with the Quran. Or with the Vedas. I think (based on off-list correspondence) that Casey might have been trying to compare multiple translations and interpretations of religious documents with multiple SE Linux policies. But his last message to me on this topic was not entirely clear. There is of course the issue that there are many possible ways of writing a policy to constrain a given set of programs. The recent discussions about whether to have one domain for all Milters or to have one for each Milter, and how to manage multiple user roles are merely the tip of the iceberg in this regard. -- russell@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Blog http://www.coker.com.au/sponsorship.html Sponsoring Free Software development -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
