Subject: Security extensions to Posix (what would have been Posix.1e/2c)

Process capabilities, audit and information labeling should have been
widely introduced and standarized by Posix.1e/2c. Last year the IEEE
dropped the standard, because it was not clear when the standards would
ever be finished. However, there are very interesting ideas described in
those documents and they provide a good starting point when adding better
security mechanisms to Unix. So I made an agreement with the IEEE, which
allows me to offer the unfinished standards works for public downloading.
The address is http://www.guug.de/~winni/posix.1e/download.html
Please note, that re-distribution is not allowed.

The agreement was made possible by the help of Mary Shepherd (IEEE) and
Casey Schaufler (SGI), the former technical editor of the standard. I want
to thank both for their work and the IEEE for their generous gesture.
