General Talk: Russel Coker - SELinux
NSA Security-enhanced Linux is a set of patches to the Linux kernel and
some utilities to incorporate a strong, flexible mandatory access
control (MAC) architecture into the major subsystems of the kernel. It
provides a mechanism to enforce the separation of information based on
confidentiality and integrity requirements, which allows threats of
tampering and bypassing of application security mechanisms to be
addressed and enables the confinement of damage that can be caused by
malicious or flawed applications. It includes a set of sample security
policy configuration files designed to meet common, general-purpose
security goals.

Special Interest Talk
Chris Deigan will be speaking on /home away from home

Increasingly these days, people are required to use computers from all
sorts of places, and from all kinds of networks, the trusted and the
untrusted. In this talk I'll run through various tricks, acrobatics and
fun people can perform accessing their home computers using SSH, VNC and
a a small host of their friends.

As usual, SLUGlets will be running in another room during the 2nd 
half of the meeting for those who do not wish to attend the 2nd talk.
