Public Sticky notes

Apparently there is another more recent version of Kylin out there.  A TDV reader commented that although the site (www.kylin-os.com) is down, the Kylin v3.0 based on a 2.6 Linux kernel does in fact contain some security features including MAC, RBAC and file system ACLs.

Update: This whole article was based on my very limited analysis of Kylin 2.1.  Kylin 3.0 contains several security features similar to what is found in the SELinux extensions.  Kylin 3 sounds much more like what Kevin G. Coleman was talking about in the hearing.  I was not able to download Kylin 3 and didn’t find out about it until long after this post was made.

Update: After some comments on other blogs and forums, I took a closer look at the kernel files and this is clearly FreeBSD with linux binary compatibility.
