SELinux in FC5

[Teak Billard]

Hi:

Will the refpolicy be available alongside targeted and strict?  And will refpolicy find itself in RHEL eventually?  I've been keeping tabs on this technology for a while and to me it seems to be one of the biggest improvements to OS security.   Could you give me an example where refpolicy outshines  the other two  main policies?

Thanks,
Teak

SELinux in Fedora Core 5 is switching to the reference policy 
(http://serefpolicy.sourceforge.net/). The development tree before the 
test1 attempted to use it but there was some hiccups and it was pulled 
back. Now that the test release is out it is seeping in again. There 
will be additional functionality like MCS and MLS policies among several 
other changes.More details on the proposed plans is available from 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5Future. 

Feedback on how well its coming along is welcome.

regards
Rahul
