Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] XSM/Flask Default policy and Testing
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.13.0.080930
Farid,

The default policy track the Dom0/DomU usage model in the sense that one can
create and manage DomUs.  That said, just because you can do something from
Dom0, doesn't mean that the sample policy supports that usage.  An example
of the latter is kexec/kdump.  The sample policy is a guide, you need to
develop your own policy goals and implement the policy accordingly.

You should be able to use the SELinux policy writing and analysis tools.
These tools depend only on the policy directory structure which the sample
XSM/Flask policy preserves with SELinux.
