Hey Ned, solar, hardened folks... |

|

I've got a couple of pennies to throw into this mix: |
4 |
Even though my own participation (due to work schedules - 3 jobs |
5 |
doesn't leave a whole lot of time for other stuff) has waned, I |
6 |
believe that your hardened toolchain is top-notch. Yes, it's bleeding |
7 |
edge, it's not mature, etc... that doesn't mean we should have a |
8 |
partial-birth abortion. Hardened has been around for a while, yes, but |
9 |
if you spend 10 minutes in #gentoo you'll see, a LOT of our users |
10 |
aren't prepared for something as in-depth as hardened. |
11 |
|
12 |
Gentoo currently LEADS linux distributions in configurability in |
13 |
regards to hardened/selinux/security. Bar NONE! For the experienced, |
14 |
hardened *can't* be replaced by anything out there. If I had the skill |
15 |
level to assist in any way, I'd be the first guy in line to help. |
16 |
Unfortunately, my experience is more limited to finding |
17 |
non-programming solutions to get the job, whatever that job may be, |
18 |
done. Perhaps this thread will catch someone's eye, someone that CAN |
19 |
help, at least drum up some user support. |

Solar, before reading your email, I had no idea that you were feeling |
22 |
like that. Maybe we can get someone with a *little* more experience |
23 |
than me, perhaps a trusted user/non-dev that can be a bug-filter? |
24 |
|
25 |
To the hardened community: If you can afford the time, check |
26 |
bugs.gentoo.org for hardened bugs... if there are bugs that you know |
27 |
of that are FUD, email a list of bug #'s to your favorite hardened |
28 |
dev, after replying with a solution to the particular user, whether or |
29 |
not it's a PEBKAC issue or not. |
30 |
|
31 |
that's all for me, gotta head back to work *sigh* |
