sel_config File

The sel_config file is checked to determine the behavior of the selection confirmer when an operation would upgrade or downgrade a label.

The sel_config file defines the following:

• A list of selection types to which automatic replies are given

• Whether certain types of operations can be automatically confirmed

• Whether a selection confirmer dialog box is displayed

In Trusted CDE, the Security Administrator role can change the defaults by using the Configure Selection Confirmation action in the Trusted_Extensions folder. The new settings become effective at the next login. In Solaris Trusted Extensions (JDS), the CDE action is not available. To change the defaults, modify the /usr/share/gnome/sel_config file in a text editor.
