    cool, i need try that on one of our sratch boxes. diicoe running on top of gnome and enlightenment w/ java chart up *muahahhaha* talk about bringing a box to its knees. hopefully in the next couple of weeks the GNUGTK segment will be coming to a DISA CM near you soon!

    haha, funny thing about NT and Posix... correct, Posix doesn't have jack beans to do with DII-COE compliance for NT. actually, for INFOSEC compliance, the Posix subsystem in NT is suppose to be disabled.

    -UNCLASS-

    I work as a DoD contractor supporting many HP/UX 10.20 and Solaris 2.5.1 based DII-COE 3.x systems. As far as DII-COE 4.x systems go, HP/UX will either up to 11.x or go away. The de-facto target Unix platform for DII-COE 4.x is Solaris 8, but the latest beta is on Solaris 7. I've heard rumors within DISA that a couple of rouge programmers have compiled a somewhat functioning COE under linux. Keep in mind that DII-COE 3.x is tightly integrated with CDE (4.x will be more abstracted). Alot of the DII-COE stuff is done at NASA's JPL, so you if you know any people there, push it. For now, if you want to start coding DII-COE apps that would have a GUI toolkit which ports easily to Linux, think about using GTK+. I am in the process of submitting the GTK+ and GLIB 1.2.8 (for Solaris 2.5.1) to DISA for acceptance as an official segment. After the initial acceptance, I will work on getting segments published Solaris 7 and HP/UX 10.20 also.
