NAME
     trustedextensions - Solaris Trusted Extensions

DESCRIPTION
     SolarisTM Trusted Extensions software is a  specific  confi-
     guration  of  the  Solaris  Operating  System  (Solaris OS).
     Solaris Trusted  Extensions  (Trusted  Extensions)  provides
     labels  for local objects and processes, for the desktop and
     windowing system, for zones and file systems, and  for  net-
     work  communications.  These  labels are used to implement a
     Multilevel Security (MLS) policy that restricts the flow  of
     information  based  on  label  relationships. In contrast to
     Discretionary Access Control (DAC) based on  ownership,  the
     MLS  policy  enforced by Trusted Extensions is an example of
     Mandatory Access Control (MAC).


     By default, Trusted Extensions software is disabled.  It  is
     enabled  and disabled (but not configured) by the labeld(1M)
     service, identified by the FMRI:

       svc:/system/labeld:default




     Refer to the Administrator's  Guide  listed  below  for  the
     required configuration of Trusted Extensions software neces-
     sary before use. The system must be rebooted after  enabling
     or disabling labeld to activate or deactivate Trusted Exten-
     sions software.
