SubjectRe: Time to remove LSM (was Re: [RESEND][RFC][PATCH 2/7] implementation of LSM hooks)
Quoting Alan Cox (alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk):

That's a little more than half the question. The other 40% is can users
write good policies.

I think it will, and already has, become easier for selinux. But in
this case I wonder whether some sort of contest could be beneficial. We
all know of Russel Coker's open root selinux play machines. That's a
powerful statement. Things I'd like to see in addition are

a. a similar setup with apparmour
b. a similar setup where "mere mortals" set up the selinux policy

For the first few rounds, rather than judge one way or the other, we
could hopefully publish the results in a way to encourage a flurry of
selinux policy tools - one of which may actually be useful.

Given that AA is a 'targeted' type of setup, I guess it would need to
have a strict sshd policy, and the game would be whether the policy can
keep anyone with the root password from escaping the policy.
