    How do you think the Attachmate deal will turn out for "Novell"
    Well, the marketing can't be any WORSE
    Better, the product/support commitment is there
    Worse, MS will end up with what is left of Novell’s marketshare & still end up with the patents, leaving the customer as the loser

     Novell delivers security shield for Linux computers

    SecurityFrom Cnet comes the news that Novell plans to release software on Tuesday that is designed to make it harder for new attacks to compromise existing Linux-based computers.

    In short, "AppArmor lets an administrator create a profile that describes which files a given application may use. The software then enforces that profile. Consquently, if a remote attacker takes over that application, it's more difficult for the attacker to use the application for malicious purposes, such as taking over the entire computer."

    what about chroot()? Up until now, questionable apps could run in their own sandbox thanks to chroot. Sendmail, BIND, wu-ftpd, all the classic comprimisable packages even have good documentation on using chroot. Newer software seems to be written with this concept in mind.

    There are setbacks with chroot (ironically, security is one of them) but I don't know that a 3rd party application is the answer.
