After almost two years of hacking and 154 patchlevels, we proudly
present to you the latest incarnation of LilyPond, LilyPond 1.4
WHAT CAN LILYPOND DO FOR YOU?
LilyPond prints beautiful sheet music. It produces music notation
from a description file. It excels at typesetting classical music, but
you can also print pop-songs.
LilyPond input is *plain text*. So, you can use your favorite text
editor to enter it, you can put it in mail or embed it in papers. If
you don't like typing, then you can use it to print music from other
programs, using one of the numerous input filters.
LilyPond output looks *beautiful*. The font and the layout algorithms
were inspired by engraved music, so you can expect that same clear and
elegant look from your LilyPond output. And if you don't like the
looks, you can tweak almost everything.
LilyPond is *free software*. It is part of the GNU Project. It is
licensed under GNU General Public License, so you can use, modify and
redistribute the program with almost no restrictions. LilyPond is
part of the

Subject: SECURITY: LOMAC v1.1.0 Mandatory Access Control in an LKM
Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 20:45:03 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
LOMAC v1.1.0 is now available for download. LOMAC is a security
enhancement for Linux 2.2 kernels, implemented as a Loadable Kernel
Module. Once loaded, the LOMAC LKM protects the integrity of critical
processes and data from viruses, Trojan horses, malicious remote
users, and compromised root daemons. LOMAC is designed to maximize
ease-of-use: it requires no site-specific configuration, regardless of
the users and software present on the system.
Although a good number of features and fixes remain to be
implemented, LOMAC is presently functional enough to thwart script
kiddies, and is sufficiently stable for everyday use on servers and
workstations. The v1.1.0 release includes several improvements:
Features added since the last release (v1.0.5):
o Restructured argument handling to avoid time-of-check/time-of-use
errors.
o Added mediation on the addition and removal of directory entries.
Summary of Changes in LOMAC v1.1.0 since the v1.0.0 release:
The 1.1.0 release improves LOMAC's protective functionality and makes
LOMAC easier to use. The 1.1.0 release features restructured system
call argument handling to addresses the time-of-check/time-of-use
problems present in the 1.0 release, and provides new mediation on
directory modification operations. With the 1.1.0 release, LOMAC's
default configuration allows the mounting of remote NFS filesystems
and the use of SSH for remote administration.
LOMAC is Free software, available under the GNU GPL. The distribution
and supporting documentation is available via LOMAC's Freshmeat page:
