Adamantix (old Trusted Debian) is a different distro (and also i have good relationship with many of its developers, Peter for example). Debian Hardened is like Debian Junior, and the rest of subprojects. *We* must provide the best (and the easiest) way to harden Debian for advanced users, sysadmins or just people that want a really *more* secure environment than the "common" one, that does not need to be "insecure" but it will be more "unsafe" if you compare it with the same system but hardened.As a good example...you can forget to update your Bind9 named daemon 'cos somebody announced a new BOF in its code, but if you a hardened binary (+SSP/ProPOlice and a library to trace the BOF conditions) in a hardened environment (hardened kernel and RBAC/RSBAC policies) it will be not dangerous as having a simple Debian! That's the difference. We can start asking ourselves about "Why not making Debian hardened directly?", we need to respect the freedom of choice and also, a normal user wouldn't want to use RBAC...or not? If somebody has read the TRNG tasks, on SF.net, it's related with some enhancements in the LEP (Linux Entropy Pool) using a TRNG device, that would make 99.9% (just for be paranoid, at the momment no body has demonstrated that the atomic decay is not unpredictable) unpredictable random numbers to be used within the LEP (/dev/random) making an user-space daemon and modifying random.c to take care of the TRNG (some of this work is not completed, but i've started doing some dirty hacks to random.c). Thanks in advance, Cheers. -- Lorenzo Hernandez Garcia-Hierro <lorenzo@gnu.org> PS: If i want to colaborate to the Debian project that's because i think i must give something back to the "community" that developed this fantastic distro!
