Actually the easiest way to do it without wading through the compatibility list is to put the patch(es) on first, and then install Pitbull on top (the Pitbull installation is set of kernel + user level patches and can be installed on an already running system.)Not true. The installation would complain about the patches installed being newer then the ones it's installing, and abort the install. Trust me, I tried. ;-)
Hmm.. I'm sure there's a way around that.. can't think what it is right now though :) Anyone know if the commercial version of Pitbull Foundation is any different from the one on the revolution site? (www.argus-revolution.com)
root doesn't actually have any privileges on a Pitbull system.. he's just a normal user (out of the box..)Actually that's not strictly true either - root user has enough priviledges to allow the system to boot on power on (not the OBP security levels, but the PB authentication to let system finish booting up), but that's about it, yes.
No, isso|sa|so has the BOOT authorisation (at least on the systems I've used)
..if anyone would like Jeff Thompsons talk from Defcon 7 on "Hacking B1 Trusted Operating Systems", send me an email and I'll put it up somewhere.Sure, please. Knowledge is power, and all that...
Quite a few people have expressed an interest in getting this - it's an MP3 of the conference talk, I'll post it up on a public web server later on today (about 20:00 GMT) and forward the URL to the list. -- Regards, Jay Tribick Senior Systems Engineer Carrier1 Voice: +44 207 531 3874 Mobile: +44 7801 526 638
