+[SELinux | http://www.nsa.gov/selinux
] is a [Linux] kernel addition and userland toolset used to provide mandatory access controls between subjects (users, processes) and objects (files, devices)
. [SELinux] has been adopted into
the [Linux
] 2.6 [Kernel], and will feature in the upcoming FedoraCore 2 LinuxDistribution. [SELinux] is avaliable for most LinuxDistribution~s
