I will port my work in -current and send you my patches ASAP, maybe in a
week. And what about non-hierarchical categories? I've checked RFCs 1108
and 1038 to see, if they have something, that will satisfy our needs. But
it's funny or not - these RFCs are more US-specific, that FIPS 188 is. ;-)
So, i will implement CIPSO, but don't know right now what type of security
tag should i use. Maybe you can help - what do you think should be
included in packet label right now based on MAC model and implementation
you have?
