Re: O'Rielly SELinux Book (2005)

And to stay up to date with the commands and infrastructure than you would like to go for Fedora SELinux guide. It might as well give you partial details on the design of SELinux, although SELinux by Example has a very clear description of the design in its first section. Policy models are discussed in section 2.

Hi Josh,

I found that to be one of the (few) O'Reilly books that didn't really
cut it for me on its stated subject matter; my preference is
Prentice-Hall's "SELinux by Example, Using Security Enhanced Linux", by
Frank Mayer, Karl MacMillan and David Caplan (ISBN 0-13-196369-4). It's
a much clearer (and more comprehensive) treatment of the theory in depth
you're asking for.
