12 Yeah. But I don't think it's bad idea. Problem with RBAC and grlearn is
13 what there no single place with comprehensive yet simple enough HOWTO's,
14 policy examples, etc.

19 You right!!! After I try learning mode first time I found it very
20 intuitive... but after I've activated rules produced by "learning mode"
21 my system "hang" and I have to press RESET button. :)
22
23 So I delay learning how to use learning mode without locking my system
24 for better time. :(
25
26 So, if somebody will summarize all documentation sources you mention -
27 I'll be really happy.
28
29 P.S. I _had_ read both urls you mention, at least three times each, :)
30 and searched google/gmane too, but this was about year ago.
31
32 P.P.S. AFAIK SELinux has much more rich documentation and a lot of
33 predefined policy, but my intuition says what there something wrong
34 with SELinux and I prefer to use RBAC as soon as I found enough
35 documentation. (I don't used SELinux myself, so probably my intuition
36 feeling based mostly on articles/posts readed on GrSecurity-related sites
37 and some posts about SELinux in this maillist...)
