NAME

       trusted_extensions - Solaris Trusted Extensions

DESCRIPTION

       SolarisTM  Trusted Extensions software is a specific configuration of the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS). Solaris Trusted Extensions
       (Trusted Extensions) provides labels for local objects and processes, for the desktop and windowing system, for zones and file systems, and
       for  network  communications.  These labels are used to implement a Multilevel Security (MLS) policy that restricts the flow of information
       based on label relationships. In contrast to Discretionary Access Control (DAC) based on ownership, the	MLS  policy  enforced  by  Trusted
       Extensions is an example of Mandatory Access Control (MAC).

       By  default, Trusted Extensions software is disabled. It is enabled and disabled (but not configured) by the labeld(1M) service, identified
       by the FMRI:

	 svc:/system/labeld:default

       Refer to the Administrator's Guide listed below for the required configuration of Trusted Extensions software  necessary  before  use.  The
       system must be rebooted after enabling or disabling labeld to activate or deactivate Trusted Extensions software.
