Well, since posts seem to be going through again, I'll send this again.=20 I'm in the process of finishing up auditing support based on POSIX.1e, and hope to stick something online today or tomorrow for people to play with if they are interested. I'll then move onto POSIX.1e Capabilities (and then ACLs). I encourage anyone interested in the standard who wants to discuss its implementation, etc, to subscribe to the posix1e mailing list mentioned below. Although the POSIX.1e draft has been withdrawn as a proposed standard, that does not prohibit its use--Linux now has the beginnings of support for file system ACLs and Capabilities, Solaris uses an almost identical API for its ACL support, etc.=20 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 09:11:35 -0500 (EST) From: Robert Watson <robert@cyrus.watson.org> Reply-To: Robert Watson <robert+freebsd@cyrus.watson.org> To: security@freebsd.org Subject: Summary: Posix.1e (fwd) For those that are interested, this summary was recently posted to bugtraq.

A summary of all information I got is available under the address http://www.guug.de/~winni/posix.1e/. I will try to update this page regulary. Folks, this subject is so unknown that I did not even get any flames. :-) A few people asked me, where to get the standards paper. The technical Editor, Casey Schaufler <casey@sgi.com> sent me an electronic copy of the document (5 MB in size). The document and the webpages of the IEEE clearly state, that I can't make the document available for download without the permission of the IEEE. So I asked them (and re-asked them), but did not get a final answer yet. Robert Watson has set up "a cross-platform mailing list to discuss the POSIX-related issues and to gather modifications to the draft to get a more consistent specification". The subscription-address is posix1e-request@cyrus.watson.org. Regards -Winfried Will Internet-SPAM be legalized in Europe on March, 29th? Prohibit that at Wird Internet-SPAM am 29.
