Security Auditing for Linux

malibu_mex writes: "LinuxToday, ZDNet Australia, and NewsForge are all reporting on a loadable kernel module + GUI combination that implements an auditing subsystem on Linux (Like the NT event logger, or solaris BSM). This could be yet another reason for big business and government to migrate away from the costly commercial alternatives to Linux. First it was SAMBA, now it's SNARE. What have these Aussies got with 5 letter 'S' names? This topic has been discussed on Slashdot previously here."

    "We are pleased that nine states have joined the Department of Justice in supporting this settlement.

    "The fact that so many states have joined the federal government in supporting this agreement is a very significant positive step toward resolving these issues once and for all.

    "We made every effort to reach a compromise to address the states' concerns and allow everyone to move forward. Yesterday, at the request of the states, we made some additional revisions to clarify the proposed decree and better capture the intent of the parties.

    "We hope that the remaining states will join in this agreement, so that everyone can focus on the future and avoid the unnecessary costs and delays of further litigation.

    "While this decree will place significant restrictions on our business, we believe this is a fair and reasonable settlement that will be good for consumers, good for the high tech industry, and good for the economy.

    "Microsoft is committed to making this settlement a success. We are committed to becoming a better industry leader, and we will continue to deliver new innovations to revitalize the economy and improve people's lives."

    Define real os? hmm? Linux has unix roots, and unix is definitely one of the oldest operating systems in existence, so linux to me would definitely qualify as a real os. Also, linux user != freeloader. I pay out the butt for computer parts, cds, dvds, movie and concert tickets, food, tuition (yeah my mom and dad's $60k combined income ousted me from any scholarships...I only get student loans), insurance...God have mercy insurance, gas, software, women (can you say dating...it's expensive if you didn't know!), I pay taxes so real freeloaders can have lunch (note to such people...go get a job please...be productive, I'm sick of supporting you.) I use linux because it's stable, and it just works better. Heck, I can't get my dxr3 to NOT crash Win XP, however it works perfectly in linux...and the people who made the card wrote the windows drivers. Hrmm. I wonder why it crashes!

    So, in conclusion, not only are you ignorant and a troll as your name states...you're just fucking stupid too. :-) Good day now!

    Now that we all have this snazzy title bar (or menu bar - whatever) at the top of our browser, can someone modify slashcode to include a Database:UP or Database:DOWN status indicator? Just a little stop-light graphic would be fine.

    Remember, for all you gits who for some reason think I'm an Australian (pah!) I'm a Brit - and my home town is Sheffield (in the Independent Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire). That's right - "THE FULL MONTY"! I've never even *been* to Australia, and have *never* eaten koala or emu
