Trusted Solaris extras


Solaris Trusted Extensions (what used to be known as "Trusted Solaris") isn't dead yet! Oracle is still improving and refining Solaris integration with Trusted Extensions for those spooky folks who require things such as mandatory security access levels for all data. I can't tell you what all the changes are (or I'd have to kill you!), but suffice it to say that the txzonemgr GUI tool (now available via GNOME libraries only) has had some updating for RBAC and the like, to the point where it can now be used to manage most aspects of Trusted Extensions.
