tame is easy and simple, which is a good thing, but comparing it to SELinux for ease of use is missing the point. SELinux is capable of providing very fine-grained access control depending on user, process and file contexts. tame is merely a syscall filter.
It's a good tool for dropping privileges from a process, but it doesn't even attempt to solve the same problem that SELinux does.
- batou 11y agoYou're right but 99% of the problems I end up solving with SELinux are problems that fit tame perfectly. The rest of the problems are architectural i.e. the process doesn't have privilege separation mechanisms etc.
