SILT: Integrated Logging Management

Nicholas Davis, P. S. Holloway, A. Security-Enhanced Linux · 2004

Security-Enhance d Linux offers a robust Mandatory Access Control protection scheme that enhances standard Unix-based permissions, and allows for greater overall system security. While a wide array of configura ­ tion tools are currently available, system administration of SELinux is still cumbersome. One area that could ease some of the configuration burdens is kernel event logging, specifi­ cally for Security-Enhance d Linux generated events. This paper proposes a tool, called SILT, designed to enhance SELinux logging. A fiexible interface supports command­ line and graphical logging configuration. Backend scripb tune the logging facility, according to user direction.
