The differences are many: ACLs are an extension of the standard Linux Discretionary Access Control (DAC) mechanism. SELinux is a supplemental Mandatory Access Control (MAC) scheme. ACLs are based on the withdrawn POSIX P1003.1e/2c DRAFT Standard and reflects a rough consensus of the industries Unix security experts of its day. SELinux started out as the Flask micro-kernel security architecture. ACLs are part of the base kernel, while SELinux is a Linux Security Module. >> Does anyone know >> which file-systems supports SElinux? It's really much more the other way around. SELinux uses extended attributes (xattrs) and can take advantage of any filesystem that supports them. > Google knows;-) > > Actually you make a small partition for each filesystem and try it out. > > Bernd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
