Hello,
I've two pressing issues concerning Tomoyo 1.7.

Does it support mprotect writable and executable bit protection like
SELinux supposedly does?
This closes the last important hole in mainline Exec Shield
implementation with NX bit (which is in mainline).
With Tomoyo (1.7 or even maybe 2.3) one could plug this hole easily,
whitelisting only problematic applications.

(I think I've asked about the following before, but got a... not so
good an answer)
Does there exist a learning mode GUI for users?
Something as simple as asking about access permission for an
application in case of access violation,
possibly remembering the rule?
I do know about the CUI, but it's not as user-friendly as it could get.

My idea is to use Tomoyo 1.7 for MAC, provide good base rules (some of
them already made for Tomoyo Debian)
and in simple unknown cases ask the user (otherwise denying).
Said unknown cases would mostly include listening sockets, file reads
and writes.
Is there any GUI for such a dialog available? (preferably as good as gksu)
If not, could I get at least a link to good API documentation of the
API CUI uses?

Best regards,
Radoslaw
