Hi RSBAC folks!

1.0.7 for 2.1.131 will be out soon - as soon as I found and fixed the  
reason for some disk access hangs.

These only happen under moderate or big load, as soon as I use the new  
rsbac_check function that checks for data inconsistency. Disabling  
attibute write to disk during checks might be a work-around, but is no  
solution.

If someone is interested in having a look at the current state, tell me,  
and I will create a pre-diff.

BTW, attribute inheritance is implemented for some attributes, but the ACL  
model won't make for this release.


Instead, *the* ultimate ;) role based model is about to be created, giving  
64 roles, 64 data types per target type, compatibility definitions between  
roles and types, role changing between certain roles, etc.

The best part: nearly everything will be configurable by all people in  
those roles that got a label 'may_configure_roles'.

On top of this, there will be an ACL model (maybe not in 1.0.8), using  
ACLs at all possible targets. The ACL entries will be based on roles and  
uids as subjects and RSBAC request types as rights.

Amon.
