Hi,
thanks much about your answer(your comments was great for us).
But still Iv'e some problems (in installing MAC & SEBSD ):
1) I get Error code 1 in "make buildworld" , every time stopes in different
files.
2) I used FreeBSD 5.1 Release and 5.2 RC2. those error accured again
3) can I have MAC & SEBSD features in one BSD OS kernel ?
4) you talked about " FreeBSD 5.1-SEBSD ", where can I find it ? is there
any ISO image ?
thanks for any Reply, specially Mr Rober Watson comments.

>    you must re-install the modified binary policy:
>
> cd /etc/security/sebsd/policy && make install
>
>    If changes were made to the policy, the modified version must be
>    loaded into the kernel.  The /sbin/sebsd_loadpolicy program can be
>    used instead of a reboot:
>
> /sbin/sebsd_loadpolicy /etc/security/sebsd/policy.16
>
> 5. Label the file system.  By default, extended attribute support was
>    enabled during the install, but the individual files were not
>    labeled. To label all file systems, login as root and run the
>    following command:
>
> cd /etc/security/sebsd/policy && make relabel
>
> 6.  Reboot the machine, so that applications can use the file labels
>     and will be started in the correct domains.
