Re: [tlug] Cleaning up the boot process

["Toshiharu Harada" <haradats@example.com>]

Dave,

I have a some suggestions for you.
Have you ever heard of "TOMOYO Linux"? It's a mandatory access control
implantation for Linux. Unlike SELinux, it can be used to analyze system
behavior. Example can be found at the following URL:

http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/lxr/source/ubuntu-7.10-ccs-1.5.3/domain_policy.conf?v=policy-sample

The line start with "<kernel>" means a "process invocation history".
In TOMOYO Linux, every process knows its parent process.
The block followed the line "<kernel>" shows the access requests occurred
for the corresponding process (aka domain).

If this looks like what you need, why don't you visit the LiveCD url and
give it a try. At the moment, there's is only 7.04 version available, but
8.04 version should be available soon.
