They are all active, but can be switched off by authorized users, if CONFIG_RSBAC_SWITCH has been selected (default). The default configuration is designed to get your system up without trouble, so you might not notice the modules are active. /proc/rsbac-info/ stats as well as the rsbac_init() boot messages tell you which models are currently supported. If you did not switch them off (what generates a syslog warning message in all cases), they are all active. > What Policies are completed/usable ? All policies are fully implemented and (hopefully) usable as described in models.htm. My favourite is a combination of AUTH, RC and ACL. RC might me left out when ACL groups have been added. > Is there one of the defined policies that could do some "Process based" > security ?

All decisions are based on the process requesting them. Since a process runs a program from a file in the name of a user, process, file and user attributes are taken into account. I do not (yet) know the thirdpig model, so I am not sure about your question. It is possible that the thirdpig model could be implemented as a RSBAC model.
