Several small flaws in the article. The local emacs variables need to be at the end of the source. Or at least for Xemacs they do, they didn't work when in the middle of my code.

/* Local Variables: */

/* mode: C */

/* compile-command: "cd ..; make -k" */

/* End: */

The above works for my projects where the source lives 1 directory below the Makefile.

The compile key bindings are missing some backslashes before the C

;; Save and Compile

;; Uses the compile-command variable which can be set in the source

(defun my-save-and-compile ()

(interactive "")

(save-buffer 0)

(compile compile-command)

)

(define-key c-mode-map "C-cC-c" 'my-save-and-compile)

The above uses the compile-command set by the source. If none has been set then make -k is the system default.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
