Hi all!

RSBAC v1.0.9-pre5 for kernels 2.2.11 and 2.2.12 is out in
http://www.compuniverse.com/rsbac/pre. Features:

- New REG model: Access control module Registration: Access control
  with flexible kernel modules. (from pre1)

- Changed RC model to request level granularity (unchanged from pre4)

- New Access Control List (ACL) model mostly finished:
  - ACLs on FILE, DIR, DEV targets with request granularity
  - Special rights Access_Control, Forward and Supervisor
  - Subject types USER, RC_ROLE and ACL_GROUP (currently only group
    Everyone)
  - Complete inheritance, restricted by optional masks (Supervisor
    right can only be masked out, if allowed in kernel config)
  - One default ACL per target type on top of inheritance hierarchy
  - Powerful but easy to use command line administration tools
  - ACL backup with restore scripts via normal tools

Please consider this pre-version as near to release 1.0.9 and *please* try  
it - if I do not get any feedback, hidden bugs in the final release are  
more likely to happen. Specially Netware experts should have a closer  
look.

Things likely to happen soon, though maybe not before final release:
- ACL support for SCD targets
- ACL administration menues
- ACL group management and administration

Amon.
