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. ;-)
