Yes brother, linux is the light of the world =)
Actually, I meant to link this one
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux
which according to wikipedia was primarily developed by the
NSA.
But since according to wiki again, the NSA made 'substantial
contributions' to the LSM framework as well, I didn't bother
correcting my mistake.
Granted, one can easily avoid the selinux module. And a quick
look at the /security/ directories suggests that there aren't
tons of code to audit, though I actually have no clue as to
how hard it would be to actually audit that code. Let alone how
to audit it.
This is probably old news for a lot of people but the fact
that the NSA was involved in this kind of thing is just too
rich...
