Yes, I know that you guys are mostly HP-UX people, but I bet that some of
you are familiar with MPE, too.
I am currently writing a paper comparing security features in UNIX vs. MPE.
I have several years of experience with MPE/V, but during my two years here
at UCSB, I have not been able to keep completely up to date with the changes
in MPE/V and MPE/XL.  I was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to
take the time to give me a summary of the security features in MPE/XL, that
are different from MPE/V.  Also, do you know if HP is working on getting a
higher security rating than the current C2 on any of their OS's ?
Thanks.
Harald
