Starting Point.

[Wade Klaver]

Hello,
  I will take whatever you have at this point.  Even references to some 
writing of a more theoretical nature that does a good job of explaining the 
nature and implementation of trusted systems would be good.  Also, if there 
is a number of these partially complete documents in need of consolidation, I 
could take a shoot at it.  The best stuff I have managed to track down comes 
out of the freebsd-security list archives.  I just have some funny goings on 
that I am sure are related to initial configuration issues.  If this is not 
the case, please let me know.
Things like:
  When a non-root user issues a 'ls -l', I get things like:
ls: ./cmp.sh: Operation not supported
-rw-r--r--  1 wade  wheel       134 Oct 31  2002 cmp.sh
raised by:
__acl_get_file(0xbfbfdc90,0x0,0x8052400)         ERR#45 'Operation not 
supported'

Same problems with the FACL stuff:
root at arch-/home/wade:setfacl -m u:wade:rw c
setfacl: acl_get_file() failed: Operation not supported
