Dear Sirs. I have a hobby. Simply it is the computer security and related topics. 2 months ago i've got a Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.1.0 CDROM distribution willing to design and implement MAC(mandatory access control) according to Bell-LaPadula model or something like that. I choose FreeBSD because of free avaliable source. But the problem is, that breaking through megabytes of kernel routines i've got a terriblre headache. :( I don't know where to look at. What kernel structures can i modify and what i should recompile next to get it work. ( After my "modifications" the kernel stops with bus error ;-)) Where can i find information of kernel internals such as processes and user credits, IPC, VOP_ stuff, v-nodes and its relations with i-nodes, the most complete info on how does this thing works inside. I'll want to buy a book "4.4BSD design and implementation". Is it enough? I read manuals and faqs. It said that You may be interested in such stuff. I have no much time, but i want to try. thanks for advice. Certainly Yours, Ilmar. Moscow, Russia. PS. Sorry for bad English if any mistakes have been made. I have no English-speaking practice for a long time, only English-reading. ;-) AKA ~The~Blue~Glasses~ ö8-) --- ...
