Thanks for the extensive explanation and for the snapshot. I've 
downloaded it and installed it in a Vmware environment, and it works 
fine, but there is a big amount of strange messages during boot. (after 
dmesg, while the rc scripts are running)
For example:

avc: denied { setattr } for pid=454 comm=getty inode=60 , 
mountpoint=/dev, scontext=system_u;system_r;init_t 
tcontext=system_u;object_r;tty_device_t tclass=chr_file

I guess these are some kind of MAC-related messages, but is it normal 
with a default install?

I would be happy too if I could contribute some useful documentation to 
the project but I'm not sure I have the knowledge to do that. I try to 
get to know the SEBSD and the MAC framework via the pieces of informaion 
there's around the Net, but You know, I don't have a good starting 
point. I'm really interested, however. We'll see what I can do...


Thanks,
