File Manager

In the Trusted Solaris environment, File Manager has certain limitations on the files (and folders) that it can display. File Manager displays files at the label of the current workspace. To operate on (or view) files at more than one label at a time, you run File Manager from workspaces at different labels and then use the Occupy Workspace command to display the different File Managers in the same workspace.

File Manager enables you to change a file or folder's basic permissions, access control list (ACL), and information. You can also move, copy, or link files between File Managers at different labels. For more information on File Manager and its capabilities, see Chapter 5, Managing Labels on Files and Directories.

You can view (but not write to) files and directories that are not at your current workspace label by specifying a path name with adornments, as in /.MLD.myHomeDir/.SLD.0. However, you can only write to files and directories dominated by your current workspace label.
