Re: [PATCH] Extended Attributes for Security Modules against 2.5.68

* frm [e-mail] "04/23/03 20:26:15 +0100" | sed '1,$s/^/* /'

* And all these should _not_ happen in the actual tools but in a
* pluggable security module (something like pam).  

I proposed something along those lines back in 2001 at the USENIX security
conference LSM BOF---I called it PACM. 

But it seemed that no-one else was interested in policy independent
userland interfaces or applications (X, sendmail) making policy decisions.
