Mac OS X - UNIX kernel based.

I'm at the new Apple store in Tysons Corner, VA and have been looking at the new MAC OS based on the UNIX kernel. It is really fabulous. A UNIX kernel with incredible MAC graphics and apps running on top!

and for Darwin, the UNIX opensource project:

Centos 4 32 bit - New kernel ethX MAC address order issue

I have compiled a new kernel (3.2.9) for centos 4/5/6 servers. There is an issue with the centos 4, 32 bit servers. The kernel changes the order in which the MAC address is determined and because of this the server network does not come up as the wrong MAC address are assigned. Even if we specify...

mac_none

MAC_NONE(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					       MAC_NONE(4)

NAME

     mac_none -- null MAC policy module

SYNOPSIS

     To compile the null policy into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   options MAC
	   options MAC_NONE

     Alternately, to load the none module at boot time, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   options MAC

     and in loader.conf(5):

	   mac_none_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The mac_none policy module implements a none MAC policy that has no effect on access control in the system.  Unlike mac_stub(4), none of the
     MAC entry points are defined.

   Label Format
     No labels are defined for mac_none.

SEE ALSO

     mac(4), mac_biba(4), mac_bsdextended(4), mac_ifoff(4), mac_lomac(4), mac_mls(4), mac_partition(4), mac_portacl(4), mac_seeotheruids(4),
     mac_stub(4), mac_test(4), mac(9)

HISTORY

     The mac_none policy module first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0 and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.

AUTHORS

     This software was contributed to the FreeBSD Project by Network Associates Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates Inc.
     under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (``CBOSS''), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.

BUGS

     See mac(9) concerning appropriateness for production use.	The TrustedBSD MAC Framework is considered experimental in FreeBSD.

     While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of the root user, not all attack channels are currently protected by
     entry point checks.  As such, MAC Framework policies should not be relied on, in isolation, to protect against a malicious privileged user.
