Addjob lets you distribute jobs over a network


Addjob lets you distribute jobs over a network. You just run "addjob-server", and then submit jobs like "addjob gcc -c foo.c". You can still interact with your program via the command line, and exit-codes are preserved, so it integrates well with Makefiles.

Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) : A Free Software security extension for current Linux kernels


Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) is a Free Software security extension for current Linux kernels. It is based on the Generalized Framework for Access Control (GFAC) by Abrams and LaPadula and provides a flexible system of access control based on several modules. All security relevant system calls are extended by security enforcement code. This code calls the central decision component, which in turn calls all active decision modules and generates a combined decision. This decision is then enforced by the system call extensions.
