Hi.
SELinux Policy Editor 1.3.1 has been released.
About SELinux Policy Editor, visit http://seedit.sourceforge.net/
(1) Notice
This release includes Simplified Policy only.
GUI is not included, it will be re-developped.
It is development version, may be unstable.
And tested only in Fedora Core4.
(2) Changes
* audit2spdl utility
It works like audit2allow, generates simplified policy from log.
You do not have to remember detail of simplified policy syntax.
* Detailed permission for files support
For users who want more security, new permission a(Append),t(seTattr),
c(Create), e(Erace),o(Overwrite) can be used.
* Documentation
Documentation about what permissions are integrated, unsupported by simplified policy is prepared.
Verifying security of Simplified Policy has become easier.
See http://seedit.sourceforge.net/doc/permission_integrate/
* Generation of above document using XML/Python
(3) How to use
First get seedit-converter-1.3.1-1.i386.rpm and seedit-policy-1.3.1-FC4.noarch.rpm from
