Sorry if this has been discussed before, I couldn't find the topic using google on the list archives. I am trying to bring up a VM lab, and would like to use RSBAC for role enforcement and ACLs. From the documentation, it seems to fit exactly the needs I'll have, over SMACK (too few features) or SELinux (too much maintenance). I have not used RSBAC yet; I'm trying to get my plan together before I start installing things. The thing I'm trying to deal with is this: The lab will be using LDAP for auth, with a bunch of mutually shared NFS volumes for the VMs. Where/how does rsbac store the RC and ACL module configurations? My concern is having two VMs mount the same volume, and having two different ACLs. Is there a method (or a set of methods, best practices, whatever) to ensure consistent ACL enforcement across a network with rsbac? If the filesystem supports ACLs, is it a non-issue? The goals for this lab are new to me, so if it doesn't sound like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I don't. If there are better solutions than NFS, or LDAP, or any component, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks, AJ
