[Discuss] SELinux & IPTables

[greg at freephile.com (Greg Rundlett (freephile))]

It's rather (annoyingly) humorous that there is a webpage at the NSA titled
"Current State of SELinux"
http://www.nsa.gov/research/_files/selinux/papers/x/text8.shtml which is a
blank white page.  The page in question is supposed to be a slide in a
presentation, and can be seen here:
http://www.nsa.gov/research/_files/selinux/papers/x/img8.shtml  For
completeness, the 'official' NSA content on SELinux is at
http://www.nsa.gov/research/selinux/
