Default Merits of TrustedBSD for OpenBSD

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Howdy, I've started toying with bringing openbsm[1] and the audit3[2]
code from the TrustedBSD project up to speed on Darwin and I'm
wondering why the OpenBSD project hasn't started adopting some of the
code and merging it into a sort of TrustedAndOpenBSD project

A couple of the things I think OpenBSD could greatly benefit from,
such as the MAC framework, access control lists, and then of course,
the auditing that OpenBSD and the auditing code in the kernel allows.
I'm certain that this would be a great amount of work, so I'm asking
more if somebody's already started, while I dont' really have time to
contribute code, I'd be more than happy to test the code. I see
absolutely no feasible reason why OpenBSD should be satisfied with
being "really secure", merging some of the improvements brought by
TrustedBSD seems like a viable way to make OpenBSD a "really really
super duper secure" OS

Thoughts? Has anybody started at least working on say, access control
lists? (something I'm sure NetBSD would like to have as well)



Cheers,
