I think that the folks at Gould might be able to give you a few
pointers/horror stories.  One of them wrote a piece for "UNIX Review" a few
months back about security, and I believe they're working on a version of UNIX
that is intended to be classified at the "B" security level (Orange Book).

[ There must be someone from Gould out there that can expand on this. --DL ]
