D-Day a 'source of enormous national pride': Harper

Faith Goldy, QMI Agency

NORMANDY, France — Prime Minister Stephen Harper joined world leaders and veterans in France on Friday to mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy.

"It is an honour and a privilege to be in France today on D-Day with our veterans on the very beaches of Normandy where, 70 years ago, Canadian and Allied forces smashed through the German defences to help put an end to Nazi tyranny in Europe," Prime Minister Harper said during the day's wreath-laying ceremony.

The massive air attacks and amphibious landing of 150,000 troops opened a second European front, virtually guaranteeing an Allied victory in the Second World War. By the invasion's end, 77 days later, more than 1.5 million Allied soldiers had landed on the five D-Day beaches. About 10,000 would not return home.

"It is difficult to understand the courage it took to advance through minefields and barbed wire under fire from mortars and machine guns in order to punch through Hitler's Atlantic wall," Harper said, "And yet that is exactly what many Canadians did."

Canada's forces played a leading role in D-Day, contributing 14,000 soldiers -- the highest number of all the allies when measured as a percentage of their population. At the centre of the British stretch, Gold and Sword beaches, was Canadian-controlled Juno beach. The assault on Juno was led by the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, supported by tanks from the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade and the British No. 48 Royal Marine Commando.

But Canada's fight for freedom came with a human cost: 1,063 Canadians were put out of action on the first day, 708 were wounded or missing, while 355 would not live to see the fruits of their fight.

"It is a source of enormous national pride that Canadians played such a pivotal role in ensuring the success of the D-Day landings, one of the greatest battles of the Second World War and a turning point in the world's history," Harper said.

A source of contention in Friday's events was the inclusion of Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the invitation of host French President Francois Hollande.

"We may have differences with Vadimir Putin but I have not forgotten and will never forget that the Russian people gave millions of lives (during the Second World War)," Hollande said when asked about the controversy.

Friday's ceremonies come on the heels of Putin's Thursday meetings with British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and a dinner with the French President Hollande. Prime Minister Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama have both declined Putin's request to meet in France.

Smaller, more intimate ceremonies were held across Canada.

In the nation's capital, veterans gathered at the Canada Aviation Museum.

"For you, the veterans and survivors, D-Day is not some remote confined to the distant past," Gov. Gen. David Johnston said to the gathered. "Rather, it lives on — vividly replaying in your hearts and memories. As a father and a grandfather, I thank you."

Re: [Videolib] Requests for television shows on DVD

From: Bergman, Barbara J <>
Date: Fri Sep 18 2009 - 09:39:20 PDT

If specific TV episodes are needed for a course, we'll buy the season. I normally don't buy the entire series without some justification (reason might be that there's a really good package deal...) But, I've also found that the TV seasons ordered "just because" usually end up circulating for class use as well as a little leisure viewing.

In terms of circulation of sets -- We repackage DVDs into security cases, so TV programs are packaged, and therefore checked out, two discs at a time. This also means that they are put on reserve that way, leaving the rest of the season available for normal checkout to faculty and students.

Barb Bergman | Media Services & Interlibrary Loan Librarian | Minnesota State University, Mankato | | (507) 389-5945 |

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.

Maria Isabel Solis Thomas (420-01-600)

Click on the images above to view full-size.

By Aaan Zukowski

María Isabel Solis Thomas remembers the day as if it were yesterday: She and her sister, Elvia, are standing on a dock at a Richmond, Calif., shipyard, waving goodbye to sailors boarding American ships destined for battle during World War II.

Thomas recalls a young sailor asking for one of her tiny cross earrings. Not one to part easily with any of her jewelry, Thomas remembers Elvia’s shock when she gladly removed the earring and gave it to the sailor as a going-away memento -- even though she’d never see the sailor again.

Elvia was just as astonished when the sailor's friend approached and asked:

"How 'bout the other one for good luck?" and young Isabel obliged him just as willingly.

Thomas recounts the scene as a lighthearted moment in the midst of a time when the entire world seemed to be fighting. Decades later, at 80, she looks on her acts of charity as simple measures meant to comfort men going off to war.

But the Solis sisters' support for the war effort went far beyond the farewells at the docks that day. As a little girl, Thomas dreamed of becoming a teacher or nurse, but money and the war altered her and her sister's dreams.

Instead, when the war broke out, both volunteered to become "Rosie the Riveter" welders, welding pipes and repairing cargo ships by the war's end with women of all races from all over the country.

"It [the war] was in full force," Thomas said. "And that's why they needed us to go and help them to build these ships to get them out, because they needed the ammunition, the food and they needed to transport these boys where they had to go."

Thomas says recruiters wanted women who were small, short and thin for crawling into dangerous places in the ships. She worked nine-hour days, six days a week, striking and sealing steel rods with precision and purpose.

"I was so proud because, man, I did it just exactly the way they wanted [me] to," Thomas said. "And here I come out, and they said, 'Hi, Shorty. You did pretty good."

Not only did she love the Navy and the work; she also loved the camaraderie. Among other activities, Thomas remembers trading clothes and sharing soap.

"We shared with the girls in the dormitory as if it were one big, happy family," she said.

Thomas met Italian American and Portuguese American women for the first time: She assumed they all spoke Spanish because of their facial features. Her sister quickly suggested she not insult the other women by assuming they were Mexican.

Thomas also recalls comforting an African American mother who was thinking about "her boys" away at war. Thomas hugged and kissed the woman, who asked in surprise:

"Where did you say you're from?"

"We come from Texas," replied Thomas, to which the young mother replied:

"You shore different from those Southern gals."

During those war years, young Thomas and other women attempted to break down discrimination barriers by not caring about race or creed.

"We treated each other as good friends," she said. "Black, white, yellow -- it doesn't matter your color, your creed, your religion; we're all the same."

Thomas was born in Veracruz, Mexico, in 1924, one of nine girls and one boy born to Telésforo Solis and Marí¬a Del Refugio Gomez Solis. Telésforo worked for an American oil company in Tampico, Mexico, while Marí¬a was a housewife.

"We were not rich ... we were poor," Thomas said. "But we never lacked of anything, thanks be to God. Papa had a good salary."

The Solis family moved in 1929 to Brownsville, Texas, where Telésforo worked as a bookkeeper before the war and later as a toll collector at the International Bridge between Brownsville and Matamoros, Mexico.

"We were very united," said Thomas, who recalls being especially close to Elvia, who has since passed away. "She and I were not only sisters; you could say we were very close friends."

A devoted Christian, Thomas learned early in life the value of family unity. She remembers the Depression era as a difficult time when she shared everything with her eight sisters, including a single set of roller skates.

Thomas also recalls experiencing discrimination as a youth, even from people of her own ancestry. For example, she remembers a Mexican American teacher once telling the class that no matter how much Mexican American girls applied themselves, they’d never be able to accomplish anything more than being housekeepers.

Thomas says she seldom experienced discrimination after marrying James A. Thomas, a Navy sailor who fought in the South Pacific in 1944. She says James, an Anglo, shocked her parents when he asked for her hand in marriage. Her parents were devout Catholics, and James Thomas was Methodist. Her parents had no idea they’d been dating; Thomas had only dated Mexican Americans previously.

"I'm not going to leave her behind. Maybe I won't be back, but I don't want to leave her behind for somebody else," Thomas recalls James telling her parents, who eventually gave the couple their blessing.

A few weeks later, they were married in Santa Cruz, Calif. Eventually, all nine Solis sisters would marry military men.

After she was let go from her job at the Richmond, Calif., shipyards, Thomas went to live with her husband's family in Indiana while he was still in the South Pacific. Thomas’ younger brother came home on furlough before the war's end, she recalls. Although the brother wasn’t hurt physically, he suffered emotionally from his war experiences.

James died April 13, 1998, of heart trouble and complications from diabetes.

In retrospect, Thomas says she enjoyed helping the soldiers and the war effort, but notes the war did change her.

"It made me see [life] different," Thomas said. "It made me more mature. I realized that I was not a little girl anymore ... but most of all, it taught me to love people more."

Thomas says she gravitated toward industrial work during the war as an opportunity to learn new skills, earn money for her family and aid the young men serving the United States.

"We were very proud that we were doing something good, something to help, to help the boys, really," Thomas said.

She continued contributing to the U.S. military far beyond WWII: Her son, James A. Thomas, Jr., served with the Air Force in Vietnam and her grandson, Timothy Lee Thomas, served with the Army in Saudi Arabia.

Mrs. Thomas was interviewed in Brownsville, Texas, on October 13, 2003, by Anna Zukowski.

Weekend engineering works?

“Weekend engineering works” – a phrase that makes the blood run cold just when you thought you had that visit to relatives, trip to the seaside or weekend meeting sorted.

This year we will have the triple whammy of weekend engineering works plus Christmas and New Year engineering works. Indeed, it is difficult to find any rail companies that are not announcing some scheduled improvements over the long weekend and through to the New Year.

The people most inconvenienced by these interruptions to service are those without cars, especially those in poverty and the elderly, who perhaps are most in need of a bit of cheer from friends and relations over the Festive Season.

Plaque to commemorate cycling councillor at new railway station

Here’s a lovely story from the Bromsgrove Advertiser:

A renowned campaigner for cyclists who died in 2007 will live on in a commemorative plaque to be unveiled at Bromsgrove railway station, marking a new facility that would have been close to his heart.

Gordon Selway, described as a “larger-than-life” character and who was also a Bromsgrove district councillor, was transport spokesman for the Worcestershire branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) and volunteered for many charities.

Renationalising the railways is trendy but not smart

Virgin trainWho should own the railways? Both contenders for the Labour leadership, Owen Smith and Jeremy Corbyn, believe it should be the public sector. They point to rising ticket prices., widespread industrial action and a lack of seating (or so Corbyn claims.) as evidence that privatisation has failed. The public seem to agree, with 62% now in favour of renationalisation. But is it worth it?

It certainly wouldn’t be progressive. Households in the highest real income bracket make up 43% of yearly rail journeys, with those in the lowest income bracket making up only 10% of journeys. Nationalisation would mean that low-earners who very rarely use the train would be funding through their taxes reduced ticket prices and the maintenance of rail travel for the highest earners in the country. Such large amounts of public sector finances would be far better spent on services which low earners need most.

Nor would nationalisation eradicate large scale industrial disputes. Look no further than across the Channel: in the run up to Euro 2016 the French railways endured huge strikes. Even under a Socialist government the railways were not immune from clashes with the unions.

Points and crossings

Pretty much everyone seems to have an opinion about the railways, even those who don’t travel by train.  I’ve worked in the railway for quite a long time now, spanning the nationalised British Rail and the current privatised structure.  The current structure often frustrates me, but there have been some good things in recent years as well.  The growth in passenger numbers over the last 15 years couldn’t have been dreamed of when I started work, for example.

However, what frustrates me most is that no-one, as far as I know, has ever evaluated whether the benefits of the current structure are outweighed by the disadvantages (I realise that this is a more general fault in public policy making).

The future of the railways – a Liberal view

Jeremy Corbyn’s proposal for a People’s Railway has sparked interest and support, tinged with more than a little nostalgia for a past that really didn’t exist. Those who hanker after British Rail were clearly not there. It was the butt of national jokes about punctuality, cancellations, strikes and stale sandwiches. It was also serving a transport market very different from today. Rail journeys in Britain have doubled since 1997 and are set to continue rising rapidly. Freight traffic increases every year too. Our rail lines are the busiest and most intensively used in Europe if not the world. Britain has the only growing rail market in Europe. So when people adversely compare our structure with that in France or Germany it is worth remembering that they are declining businesses while every aspect of Brtish railways is growing fast and needs to do so, because of our growing population and if we are to have a successful economy.

The People’s Railway is a train crash – the people need more liberal rail routes

I need to be in Cardiff Bay next Thursday morning by 10:00. I don’t drive and I live in West London. You guessed it, I have to get the train. So I look on the National Rail website for train times and prices. The only route for me to go is from Paddington to Cardiff Central, then change at Cardiff Central. Only First Great Western operate the Paddington to Cardiff Central route, so I am at the mercy of their prices and service (I’m not picking on First Great Western, I’m from the North West originally and often get Virgin trains and they are just as bad). If I want to go Thursday I can either pay £26 for a train from Paddington at 05:19 (before the first Tube and I don’t drive remember) or any train later than that, but will still get me into Cardiff before 10:00, will cost £106. And that’s not to mention that I have to pay a minimum extra of £46 for a return if I fancy going home at some point, as well.

Liberal Democrat policy on railways

Liberals must be on the side of business – ambitious for business – tearing down the barriers that stop businesses from fulfilling their ambitions. It is unambitious for the government to power down the Northern Powerhouse by stalling promises to electrify the Transpennines route. Instead, we say – invest in the best rail links in Europe.

Tim Farron, 23rd September 2015

This is the first of a couplet of articles on the subject of the railways this morning.

In August, on a comments thread, I outlined the Liberal Democrat railways policy, in response to a commenter.

I notice that commenters are still asking what our policy is on the railways, so I thought I’d set it out in a post.

First of all, here is a statement from the BBC news magazine from March 2015:

Students remember Sept.11 victims; survivor shares story

September 11, 2009 : Kristen Riordan

Eight years ago Sujo John stood on the 81st floor of the World Trade Center with death just minutes away. But on Friday John stood in front of Liberty University’s student body to describe his September 11 survival story and attest to God’s great glory.

John was the main speaker for Friday’s convocation, where Liberty students gathered to remember the victims of 9/11. Before he spoke, campus pastor Dwayne Carson led students in prayer for families of the victims.

John and his pregnant wife moved from Calcutta, India, to America in February 2001 seeking a brighter future. Upon arriving, John and his wife found jobs at the World Trade Center. Seven months later, at 8 a.m., John sat at his desk writing an email to a friend describing his longing for God to use him.

“Be careful when you use those words — I’ve come to learn that God reads email,” John said jokingly.

Just 40 minutes later John heard an “eardrum-bursting” sound as the plane hit his building, the north tower. After an hour of traveling down the 81 flights of stairs, he recalls gazing upon the hundreds of dead bodies at ground level, wondering when he would join them.

While on the street, John felt a sudden need to ask a group of people to call out for Jesus.

“I didn’t hear any man call on the name of Allah, or on the name of Krishna, or call upon any other God — how could they? There’s only one name and that is the sweet name of Jesus,” John said.

As he would find out later, those people did not survive.

Sure that his wife and unborn child were dead, John said he was relieved when he received a call from his wife saying she was late coming in to work and was not in the building.

After coming so close to death, John knew that his only purpose in life could be to spread the word of his Lord. Now he has started an international ministry that has taken him to 400 major cities on most of the continents of the world, resulting in the salvation of hundreds of thousands of people.

John encouraged Liberty students to spread the word of God to stop the spiritual famine that has struck America.

“I pray that by speaking to you this morning I will awaken a generation in America that will say, ‘We will stand and reclaim the old rugged cross,’ so that people can be saved.”

Helms School of Government holds special convocation

Dr. Stephen Parke, Associate Dean and Associate Professor at Liberty's Helms School of Government, talked about the importance of patriotism and public service during Friday's HSOG convocation.

Parke recalled his experience serving in the United States Army when the terrorist attacks occurred eight years ago today. “Can you remember where you were on Sept. 11, 2001?” he asked students.

Parke called on students to pray for our country and said that our nation must return to the Lord, quoting 2 Chron. 7:13-14,19.

Dean George Buzzy closed the convocation encouraging students to take advantage of the opportunities they have as students in the Helms School to gain experience and learn leadership.

“The opportunities on this campus for you to grow up, to learn and to prepare yourself for the destination that the Lord has are here, you just need to seize them and equip yourself,” he said.

That’s A Good Enough Excuse

Sometimes excuses are okay.

Exhibit A: an excuse to have pie.

Last night before I left the library I wrote on my Life After Bagels Facebook page:

Okay out with it – who’s having pie and what kind?

Unbeknownst to me someone who lives in my house and really likes pie decided to comment.

I don’t think you understand how much this man loves pie.  He has pumpkin pie season.  It starts October 1st which he calls “Pie-tober.”  If he had missed pi day and found out that I was hiding it from him there would have been trouble, much trouble.

When I left the library I headed to the grocery store thinking I was going to surprise him.  I didn’t know that he had commented on my page’s wall post.

But there was no pumpkin.  (PS I hate pumpkin pie myself, I was going to get myself something like apple or lemon meringue.)

The only compromise pie I could fine was a Mississippi mud pie.

It was very delicious.  Although it perplexed him.  He analyzed the crap out of it.  Creamy on top, pudding like in the middle.  Does he taste a hint of coffee flavour?

He’s looking forward to another piece tonight, as am I.

Although it’s not technically pie season anymore, pi day is a good enough excuse to have pie don’t ya think 😉

Did you eat pie yesterday?  What kind?  Did you know it was pi day?  How many figures of pi can you recite?

Every couple of years, it's time to buy a new wireless phone -- and every couple of years, we go through the same decision-making process. What should be the most important part of that process? The answer is not in the advertising. It's not about choosing a phone. Rather, it's choosing the right network -- and there is a difference between major carriers.

Which Wireless Network Is Best for You?

The four largest U.S. wireless carriers are AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile. Which is best for you? When it comes to quality, strength of signal and network footprint, you may be surprised. They are not all the same. There is quite a bit to consider.

Top Dogs

AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless are at the top. They are not the least expensive, but they do have the most customers. That fact alone speaks volumes. They have the widest national coverage and fastest networks in more locations. So, is either AT&T or Verizon right for you?

Remember, a wireless handset is nothing more than a paperweight unless it's connected to a network. So having network connection where you spend time is first and most important on the list of things to consider when choosing a carrier. While AT&T and Verizon are not perfect, they do offer the largest network footprints in the U.S.

There is also a difference in the quality of connections. You want a strong connection with four or five bars of network coverage. Having only one or two bars of coverage can cause quality and speed problems.

Generally speaking, both AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless have the broadest network coverage for voice and high-speed data in more locations. However, they have different hot spots. They don't offer exactly the same strength in all locations.

There are plenty of locations where one has much stronger coverage than the other. Make sure you choose the strongest connection where you spend most of your time. AT&T is better for some and Verizon is better for others.

In addition, AT&T and Verizon use different network technologies. They both have strengths and weaknesses, but one of the most important that I hear about is AT&T lets you talk and surf the Web and use wireless data services all at the same time. Verizon does not. With Verizon, you have to hang up a call to use the Internet, and so on.

On the innovation side of the coin, AT&T is strongest. It tends to try new things first. There is a reason its leads the change in the industry. One example is that it was the only carrier to offer Apple's iPhone for several years.

Let's say several networks offer you strong, high-quality connections. Lucky you. What is the next step in choosing the best network for you?

Fast Speed, Wide Coverage

Based on their television commercials, they all seem to offer the best quality with the most coverage and highest speeds, right? What each is saying may be accurate based on the words they carefully use. However, that's not the way to choose which is best for you.

Generally speaking, all networks offer good quality and high speeds today. However, some offer more than others. One test is how many of their customers would admit to having great wireless service. That's the real question.

The answer depends on where customers spend time. Network coverage is key to this part of the decision. Generally speaking, both AT&T and Verizon offer the fastest speeds in the widest coverage areas. Sprint and T-Mobile are fast too, but in fewer locations.

If you are in the middle of a city, that may not be an issue. Many carriers will do just fine. However, if you are located in the suburbs or travel between cities, this often becomes more of an issue.

AT&T and Verizon have the most-extensive network coverage. That means they offer the best quality calls and highest-speed wireless Internet in more areas.

While Sprint is not up to that point yet, it has been acquired by Softbank and is undertaking a multiyear upgrade that will transform its network.

When Sprint is done, it will have the newest network in the industry offering all sorts of new services. This is great news for Sprint customers. While it sounds very exciting, it's still down the road over the next couple of years.

Until about a year ago T-Mobile was struggling for its life, but it has been turning things around during the last year and actually is seeing growth. That's the good news. It has a new CEO and is marketing differently. It offers lower cost plans and markets directly to the youth of America.

While T-Mobile does have a few great spots in its network, its coverage and speed are not yet equal to competitors, generally speaking -- not yet, anyway. It is building and working to improve.

So, today AT&T and Verizon offer the widest network coverage, fastest service and best quality. They also impose higher costs, but based on their success in the marketplace, that does not get in their way.

In addition, they both continue to invest billions of dollars, year after year in their networks. Things are always getting faster and better.

But Wait, There's More

Wireless is only part of what AT&T and Verizon offer. They also offer telephone, high-speed Internet and television services, with their IPTV-like Uverse and FiOS. They are both heavily into other areas, too -- like healthcare and automotive, for example. They are strong competitors to cable television companies like Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox and others.

So, the very large AT&T and Verizon are in a completely different league than standalone wireless carriers Sprint and T-Mobile.

Over the last several years, both Sprint and T-Mobile were struggling in third and fourth place. However, both have started repairing during the last year. If that continues, I expect to see both growing as meaningful wireless competitors over the next few years.

The top two today are very different from the bottom two. Each carrier is different -- that's why choosing the right carrier for you is so important. Whichever carrier you choose, make sure it offers a strong signal, fast speed, and good-quality voice connections where you spend time.

If it doesn't, don't wait. It may be time to ask for a refund and try the next network on your list. Just remember, you only have a few weeks to return a phone. Make sure you ask about return policies before you walk out of the store.

I wish there were an easy way to choose the best carrier for you. Sorry -- it's not about watching a television commercial. It's all about where you spend time -- that's the secret sauce that really matters.

Kernel Korner - Filesystem Labeling in SELinux

SELinux needs to store extra security information about each file, and Linux makes it possible with extended attributes.

With NSA Security-Enhanced Linux now integrated into the 2.6 kernel and making its way into distributions, an increasing number of people likely will be installing SELinux and experimenting with it. Given this increasing user base, this article takes a closer look at filesystem labeling under SELinux. This is an intermediate-level article. Although a brief review of some SELinux concepts is provided in the next section, pointers to more detailed information can be found in the on-line Resources section. In particular, Faye Coker's introductory article [LJ, August 2003] is recommended as a starting point.

SELinux Overview: Labeling and Access Control

In SELinux, important objects, such as tasks, inodes and files are assigned a security context, a label that encapsulates the security attributes associated with an object. Under standard SELinux, this label is a colon-separated ASCII string composed of values for identity, role and type.

These labels are assigned by a kernel component called the security server, using rules loaded into the security policy database. The security context label on my workstation's /etc/shadow file is:

where system_u and object_r are generic identity and role values used for files. shadow_t is the type of the file, an attribute that determines how the file can be accessed. A process, for example, would be labeled like this:

The SELinux identity here is root, assigned by SELinux as a more permanent form of identity than the standard UNIX identity. The role is staff_r, indicating that the process has all of the permissions assigned to that role. The type assigned to the process is staff_t. For a process, the type attribute indicates how it is allowed to access objects and interact with other processes. The type attribute of a process often is referred to as a domain.

Access Control Decisions

SELinux uses these security context labels to make access control decisions between processes and objects, but how does this happen? SELinux has hooks located at strategic points within the core kernel code, such as the point where a file is about to be read by a user. These hooks allow SELinux to break out of the normal flow of the kernel to request extended access control decisions. Access control decisions usually are made between a process (for example, cat) and an object (for example, /etc/shadow) for a specific permission (read).

Decision requests are sent to the access vector cache (AVC), which passes requests through to the security server for interpretation. The security server consults the security policy database and determines a result, which is cached in the AVC and returned to the SELinux hook.

The SELinux hook then allows the flow to continue or return EACCES, depending on the decision result. Security context labels assigned to processes and objects are used to make these access control decisions.

Refer to Figure 1 for a simplified view of this process.

The following code demonstrates how security context labels are used on a real system, as seen by a user:

$ id -Z

$ cat /etc/shadow
cat: /etc/shadow: Permission denied

The audit log records the following:

avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=13653 exe=/bin/cat
name=shadow dev=hda6 ino=1361441 scontext=root:staff_r:staff_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:shadow_t tclass=file

Translation: the cat program, labeled with the security context root:staff_r:staff_t, was denied permission to read a file labeled system_u:object_r:shadow_t.

SELinux knows nothing about the meaning of cat or /etc/shadow. It is concerned only with their respective security context labels, the class of the target object (in this case, it's a file) and the permission being requested.

An important aspect of SELinux design is that labels encapsulate all security attributes of an object, and they are interpreted only by the security server in the kernel and by libselinux in user space. The rest of the kernel code and user space merely pass labels around as opaque data. New security attributes can be added to labels without having to recompile applications or redesign core SELinux code.

Extended Attributes

On a typical Linux disk-based filesystem, each file is identified uniquely by an inode containing critical metadata for the file, including UNIX ownership and access control information. When the kernel references a file, its inode is read from disk into memory. A standard UNIX permission check simply uses the information present within the inode. SELinux extends standard UNIX security and uses security context labels to make extended access control decisions.

Linux implements Extended Attributes, also called EAs or xattrs. These are name/value pairs associated with files as an extension to normal inode-based attributes. EAs allow functionality to be added to filesystems in a standardized way so that interfaces to the attributes are filesystem-independent. Examples of EA functionality are access control lists (ACLs), storage of character-set metadata alongside file data and SELinux security context labeling.

EAs are stored within namespaces, allowing different classes of EAs to be managed separately. ACLs are stored in the system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default namespaces. SELinux security context labels are stored in the security.selinux namespace. See attr(5) for more information on EAs under Linux.

EA Security Labeling

EAs can be managed manually with the getfattr(1) and setfattr(1) utilities. For example, to view the SELinux security context label of a file:

$ getfattr -n security.selinux /tmp/foo
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute
path names
# file: tmp/foo

Notice the specification of the EA security namespace. A wrapper utility called getfilecon(1) is provided for use with SELinux. It saves you from having to specify the EA namespace, and it has a cleaner output.

The use of text-based labels ensures that meaningful, human-readable security attributes are stored along with the file data. These labels can be preserved or translated if the filesystem is mounted on a different system, possibly with a different security policy. A counter example is the way the owner of a file is stored as a numeric UID in the file's inode. The UID typically is mapped to a meaningful value by way of /etc/passwd; it may not have the same meaning on a different system.

For a filesystem to support SELinux security context labels, it needs EA support and a handler for the EA security namespace. Such filesystems currently include ext3, ext2, XFS and ReiserFS; the last uses an external patch. In addition, the devpts filesystem has a dummy security handler that allows EA-based access to the in-kernel labels of ptys.

So, when are files labeled? During an SELinux system installation, the setfiles(8) utility typically is used to label all of the files in filesystems that support EA security labeling. Package management tools such as RPM also may label files during installation, while system administrators often need to set security contexts manually with chcon(1) or setfilecon(1).

File Creation

When a file is created, a matching rule in the security policy typically describes how to assign a label based on the security contexts of the parent directory and the current task. Here's an example:

$ id -Z
$ ls -dZ /tmp
drwxrwxrwt+ root  root system_u:object_r:tmp_t /tmp
$ touch /tmp/hello
$ getfilecon /tmp/hello
/tmp/hello      root:object_r:staff_tmp_t

In this case, the security policy contains a rule that states files created by staff_t in a directory labeled tmp_t must be labeled with the type staff_tmp_t. If there is no explicit rule, files are labeled with the context of the parent directory.

Privileged applications can override the above-stated rule by writing a security context to /proc/self/attr/fscreate. This security context then is used to label any newly created files. The setfscreatecon(3) library function encapsulates this operation.

Unlabeled files may exist if a filesystem has not been labeled properly before use or if files are created on a filesystem when SELinux is not enabled. In case of the latter, the SELinux kernel internally assigns a default context to unlabeled files for AVC calls, but it does not attempt to relabel them on disk. To restore a security context label manually, use restorecon(8).

An fsck-like utility is being developed for managing the scenario where unlabeled files have been created. To be run on boot, this utility will ensure that all files are labeled correctly before the system enters multiuser mode.

Labeling Behaviors

In the preceding section, we discussed file labeling for filesystems that both support EAs on disk and have handlers for the EA security namespace. When such a filesystem is mounted normally, it is said to use xattr labeling behavior.

When a filesystem is initialized by SELinux, such as when it is being mounted, a log message is generated that reads:

SELinux: initialized (dev hda6, type ext3), uses xattr

The uses xattr clause means the filesystem uses the xattr labeling behavior described above.

Many filesystems do not support EAs, and of those that do, not all have security namespace handlers. For on-disk filesystems, it may be that nobody has done the coding work yet or that EAs simply don't make sense for legacy filesystems such as vfat.

A proliferation of pseudo-filesystems have developed under Linux. Filesystems are becoming an increasingly favored user-kernel API mechanism. The most obvious of these is procfs, which is an interface between user space and various kernel components. Due to the long history of procfs, it has accumulated a lot of cruft, and new user-kernel filesystem APIs are encouraged to be implemented by way of separate filesystems. These filesystems are kernel resident and have no intrinsic EA support. Examples include usbfs, sysfs and selinuxfs.

Such non-EA cases are managed with a variety of labeling behaviors, according to rules in the security policy for each filesystem type.

The transition SIDs labeling behavior is used for devpts, tmpfs and shmfs filesystems. Files in these filesystems are labeled on demand in the kernel, based on the security contexts of the current task and a security context specified for the filesystem in policy.

devpts is a special-case transition SIDs filesystem. It provides EA API access to ptys by way of a dummy EA security handler. Privileged applications, such as sshd, use this feature to relabel ptys, overriding the transition SID labels.

The task SIDs labeling behavior simply labels the file with the same security context as the current task. It is used for pipes and sockets created in the pipefs and sockfs filesystems, respectively.

The genfs_contexts labeling behavior is used for filesystems unsuited to xattr, transition SIDs and task SIDs labeling. In the security policy, security context labels are assigned to filesystem/pathname pairs. The purpose of the pathname component is to allow finer-grained labeling of the filesystem. This feature is important for procfs in particular, which is a jumble of readable and writable kernel data, including the sysctl interface.

Most non-EA filesystems use genfs_contexts labeling, usually with the entire filesystem set to a single security context. Common examples include sysfs, vfat, nfs and usbdevfs.

Mountpoint Labeling

A new feature included with the 2.6.3 kernel is mountpoint labeling, also referred to as context mounts. The main purpose of this is to allow the security context of an entire filesystem to be specified by using a mount option. Mountpoint labeling can be applied to any type of filesystem and overrides its normal labeling behavior.

A specific use of mountpoint labeling is to allow different NFS mounts to be labeled separately at mount time. It also is useful for general ad hoc mounting of filesystems that do not support EA security labeling and for mounting EA-labeled filesystems labeled elsewhere. The latter may be important in forensic work, for example.

Legacy filesystems with no labels also may need to be mounted under an SELinux-enabled OS. Even though the filesystem type supports EA security labeling, we may not want to add persistent security context labels to these filesystems. Mountpoint labeling allows us to assign kernel-resident labels that are not written to disk.

As mountpoint labeling is a new feature and is not widely documented, let's discuss it in a little more detail.

When SELinux is enabled in the kernel, three new mount options are provided for mountpoint labeling:

  • context: causes every file on the filesystem, and the filesystem itself, to be labeled with the specified security context. The /proc/self/attr/fscreate API discussed above is ignored for the filesystem. This overrides existing labeling behavior, changing it to mountpoint labeling. Filesystem labels are read-only to the user with this option, although policy-specified labeling transitions still operate on filesystems with EA security labeling support.

  • fscontext: sets the label of the aggregate filesystem (that is, the filesystem itself) to the specified security context. This allows finer-grained control of filesystems by allowing their labels to be set on a per-mount basis rather than on a per-fs type basis specified in a policy. As the context option also implements this functionality, the two options cannot be used together. This option works only for filesystems with EA security labeling support. Aggregate filesystem security contexts are used for access control decisions made during file creation within a specific filesystem, mounting and unmounting of filesystems, accessing filesystem attributes and relabeling the filesystem itself.

  • defcontext: sets the default security context for unlabeled files, instead of the value specified in the policy. As with the fscontext option, it works only for filesystems with EA labeling support and is not valid if context has been specified, as it too implements this functionality.

In the kernel, SELinux parses and strips out the security mount options during mount(2), passing normal options through to filesystem-specific code. Normal filesystems do not need to be aware of the security options, thus, they do not need to be modified. This is possible because most filesystems use text name/value pairs for mount options, which SELinux is able to manipulate easily.

Filesystems with binary mount option data, including NFS, SMBFS, AFS and Coda, need to be handled as special cases. Of these, only NFSv3 is supported at this stage of SELinux development.

Here's an example of how the context option operates, as it is likely to be the most widely used of the three mount options. A floppy disk with log files has arrived on our desk, and we'd like to mount it on our SELinux box and run some log analysis software on it. Due to the way policy is configured, these files need to be labeled system_u:object_r:var_log_t for the log analysis software to work properly. Mounting in this fashion also can help provide a sandbox for the data on the floppy, allowing SELinux to protect the OS and the contents of the floppy from each other.

Let's mount the disk:

$ mount -v -t vfat \
-o context=system_u:object_r:var_log_t \
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
/dev/fd0 on /mnt/floppy type vfat

What does the audit log say?

SELinux: initialized (dev fd0, type vfat), uses mountpoint labeling

This message looks promising. Next, we verify that the files on the disk are labeled as expected. Normally, you would use getfilecon(1), but getfattr(1) has more explicit error messages:

$ getfattr -n security.selinux /mnt/floppy/access_log
/mnt/floppy/access_log: security.selinux: Operation not supported

What is going on here? An ls -Z also shows that the file has a null security context:

$ ls -Z /mnt/floppy/access_log
-rwxr-xr-x+  root  root  (null)   /mnt/floppy/access_log

The vfat filesystem on the floppy does not have EA support, and its security context labeling occurs purely within the kernel. It turns out that this in-kernel labeling is working correctly, but the user-space tools are not able to view the labels in the EA API. This is a limitation of the current EA implementation that has yet to be resolved elegantly.

However, there's a sneaky way to see what the labels on the files are by using the audit log, which always records the security context of a target object when logging an access message.

The use of getfattr(1) caused the following audit record to be generated:

avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=12354 exe=/usr/bin/getfattr
path=/mnt/floppy/access_log dev=fd0 ino=132 scontext=root:staff_r:staff_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t tclass=file

So, the file is labeled correctly (system_u:object_r:var_log_t), per the context mount option passed to the mount command.

Future Work

Although it is possible to assign security context labels to NFS mounted filesystems, they operate only locally for access control decisions within the kernel. No labels are transmitted across the network with files. Work has been advancing in this area, with SELinux-specific modifications being made to the NFSv2/v3 protocols and code. Further down the track, NFSv4 integration is expected to involve labeling over the wire by way of named attributes, which are part of the more extensible NFSv4 specification. This would allow both the NFS client and server to implement SELinux security for networked files. Support for other networked filesystems also would be useful, as would interoperability with Trusted BSD's SELinux port.

Question about Mounting filesystem using security context

Neville George's picture

Hi.. I am an intermediate user of Linux and I am baffled with this "security context" introduction. For most of the part, I get it but when coming to mounting filesystems it is driving me crazy.

First, my man pages for mount does not mention anything about context or fscontext (I dont think this is a problem)

Second, no matter what I try I am not able to see the security context of the mounted point. The commands I issued were

=> mount -v -t ext3 -o context=system_u:object_r:mnt_t /dev/mapper/datavg-data /var/data

(This command actually worked, meaning I could not see any of the security contexts of the files under /var/data after mounting - kind of consistently inconsistent)

=> mount -v -t ext3 -o fscontext=system_u:object_r:mnt_t /dev/mapper/datavg-data /var/data

(I was able to see the security context of all the files under /var/data but an "ls -ldZ /var/data" does not show me the security context. It shows up as a blank)

The problem is really that I am trying to write/read/edit files under /var/data/somefolder and I am not able to perform this (it appears to the best of my testing that there is some relation with /var/data not having a security context). I get the error message as mentioned in your article - meaning PID error, access denied)

Question is:
- If properly mounted with security context, should "ls -ldZ /var/data" show me the security context ? I am assuming this is a dumb question and the answer is YES.
- What can I do next to get this thing to work ?

Any help at the earliest is appreciated.

You don't explain how SELinux is different than standard Unix security?

Re: Filesystem Labeling in SELinux

Anonymous's picture

Is different because it implement ACLs, so you can be root in a given security context but will no be able to write any file in another security context.

This way an exploit that gives root access trought a give service, only can fake files on the service's security context, but will not be able to change other important system files (even being root).

Answers :

The CCD (image encoder) is most probably failing. It could be the CCD itself or the solder connections going to it. There is also a SLIM chance that it's a problem with the ribbon cable between the CCd and mainboard. If you are VERY mechanically inclined, have a set of jewelers scredrivers and are VERY careful AND patient, you could take it apart and see if all the cables are properly seated, but I would suggest a service shop, as it's REAL easy to break or tear very important parts.

Camera jam Ricoh Caplio R5 - tried to switch it on to take a picture, and lens came out part way but the camera then switched off.

Dead battery / broken charger? - or problem with camera? And how to check (I only have the one battery)

Lipscomb tennis teams will be tested by ETSU
Thursday, March 10, 2011
Lipscomb tennis teams will be tested by ETSU
With their first weekend of conference play tucked away under their belts, the Bisons and Lady Bisons tennis teams are preparing to face the Atlantic Sun’s top competitor, East Tennessee State University on Saturday, March 12 at 1 p.m. in Johnson City.

After picking up wins on both the men’s and women’s side in their opening weekend of A-Sun play, head coach Andrew Harris said the teams will work this week to improve.

“Both teams are looking forward to another conference weekend,” Harris said. “After the matches against Mercer and Kennesaw State this past weekend the teams recognize things we need to continue to work on as well as building on things we did well.

Both ETSU’s men’s and women’s teams are ranked first in the A-Sun preseason poll.

With spring break just around the corner, Johnson City will be the teams’ first stop out of a series of three road matches. Harris said ETSU will bring strong competition to kick off their road play.

“ETSU has restructured their coaching staff similar to ours this past summer with Yaser Zaatini now overseeing both teams,” Harris said. “Their women's program last year lost to UNF in the A-Sun finals, and their men's program has annually been one of the more consistent teams in the country the past five years. This will be our first of 3 road matches over the next week so we know we will have our work cut out for us come Saturday.”

The women, coming off a successful weekend, picked up their first conference win since 2007 when they defeated Mercer 4-3 last Friday in their opener. After losing to Kennesaw State only a day later, the Lady Bisons hold a 1-1 A-Sun record. Now, the Lady Bisons must face an ETSU team that went undefeated last season.

Harris said the Lady Bisons matches this week will help them prepare and maintain the right mindset through spring break.

“In terms of our ladies, we had two matches this week against UL-Monroe and University of Tennessee Chattanooga,” Harris said. “Our continuous theme is making sure we are competing at a high level for all the matches and looking at every match as an opportunity to get better.

“If we can keep that mindset, we will have some good results by the time the spring concludes. The girls proved to themselves this weekend against Mercer that when we stay engaged on the process we will be able to put ourselves in positions to be successful.”

For the men, Johnson City holds the opportunity to go 3-0 to start conference play after picking up wins over Mercer and Kennesaw State this past weekend. The ETSU men went 9-1 last season in A-Sun play and swept the LU men 7-0.

Harris said the ETSU match will “be all about creating opportunities.”

“If we can put some points together and string some games together then you never know what could happen,” Harris said.

The Bisons main focus this week ihe improvement of their doubles play after losing the doubles point in their first two A-Sun matches.

“I know for sure that our doubles needs to become stronger,” Harris said. “The guys have been playing with fire the past two matches by losing the doubles points and then coming back and having to win in singles. Teams like ETSU give you no room to breathe when you put yourself in positions like that. How the guys position themselves will be critical to the outcome of the match.”
