    There are tons of docs -- further, there was a good Linux Journal/Magazine on
    this about 3-6 months ago...

    Again, let's try to make a good comparison of LIDS, Medusa, and SeLinux.

    In the wise words of Russell Elik Rademacher:

    > But as for the rest, I can send the patches for the kernel, which is
    > composed to two files plus one line addition into the .spec file and the rpm
    > package of the LIDS addon utility and the files to work with the Mandrake
    > System in general but I probably need to put in some reference lines for
    > other stuff that is common with Mandrake.

    > OpenLDAP
    > Apache
    > Ping & Traceroute disabled, even for users, but available when local LIDS is
