The Windows box that just got infected from a floppy disk, CD, or other media, and it is inside your firewall (if you have one). Of course, if all your systems are embedded, or have no network connections, then there is no attacker in the traditional sense. However, SELinux can provide more protection than that, perhaps even preventing a bug in the code that's running from blowing away critical files, for a possible (even if not probable) example. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
