Wrapping Up The 2011 Linux Security Summit

[paulmoore]

We just closed the doors on the 2011 Linux Security Summit a few hours ago and I wanted to jot down a few notes while everything was still fresh in my mind. Once again, a big thanks to all of our presenters, James Morris and the rest of the organizing committee; my personal opinion is that the summit was a success this year and I look forward to

Hi,Paul Moore!

I am studying the smack module of linux and CIPSO. And I want to ask you some questions:
1.when I create a socket to send a file that is set smack label using xattr, how I can make the socket's attribute smk_out to inherite the file's smack security attribute.Because I want to determine whether to send out this file according to the file's smack extend attribute.
2.I installed the smack module, and mount the smackfs pseudo filesystem manually. But when I startup my sysytem, I could not find the load,cipso and so on files in /smack directory, my doubts is that these files need to be created by myself manually?

my operating system is fedora12.
thanks:)

I would suggest contacting Casey Schaufler at the website below, Casey is the Smack author and maintainer.
