Software Security Top 10 Surprises
Gary McGraw, Brian Chess, and Sammy Migues interviewed nine executives running top software security programs, and wrote an article for InformIT.  Some results showed that we are still not doing enough, even at our best.  Some showed that some of the things we stress most heavily are actually wrong.  The article is summarized in a bullet list.

chcon

CHCON(1)							   User Commands							  CHCON(1)

NAME

       chcon - change file security context

SYNOPSIS

       chcon [OPTION]... CONTEXT FILE...
       chcon [OPTION]... [-u USER] [-r ROLE] [-l RANGE] [-t TYPE] FILE...
       chcon [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       Change the security context of each FILE to CONTEXT.  With --reference, change the security context of each FILE to that of RFILE.

       -h, --no-dereference
	      affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file

       --reference=RFILE
	      use RFILE's security context rather than specifying a CONTEXT value

       -R, --recursive
	      operate on files and directories recursively

       -v, --verbose
	      output a diagnostic for every file processed

       -u, --user=USER
	      set user USER in the target security context

       -r, --role=ROLE
	      set role ROLE in the target security context

       -t, --type=TYPE
	      set type TYPE in the target security context

       -l, --range=RANGE
	      set range RANGE in the target security context

       The  following  options	modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the -R option is also specified.  If more than one is specified, only the
       final one takes effect.

       -H     if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it

       -L     traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered

       -P     do not traverse any symbolic links (default)

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit
