Well, there's Memco's SEOS. It isn't B1 (or any TCSEC level), but it does hardened the OS by putting a layer between all apps and the system calls. Another way is with Argus's DECAF product, which has nothing to do with TCSEC security but rather implements a capability model inside of the Solaris kernel, allowing all processes (included those running as root) to be controlled. The "living" B-level OSes that I know of are: DEC on Digitial Unix Sequent on its own stuff HP on HP/UX Argus on Sun's Solaris Data General on it own stuff CMW+ on SCO Bull's Best-X on IBM AIX (a very primitive B1!) Harris on SVR4/Nighthawk (is this still alive?) This is just off the top of my head, I may have left someone off. paul --------------------------------------------------------- Paul McNabb Argus Systems Group, Inc.
