This module is platform-independent, and therefore better-suited to regression testing. </P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="SECT2" ><H2 CLASS="SECT2" ><A NAME="AEN151817" >F.12.2.

It does not allow any other strings as security labels. </P ><P > These labels are not used to enforce access controls. They are only used to check whether the <TT CLASS="COMMAND" >SECURITY LABEL</TT > statement works as expected, or not. </P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="SECT2" ><H2 CLASS="SECT2" ><A NAME="AEN151830" >F.12.3.
