No, it is not at all like NAI's Gauntlet. Gauntlet is an 
application/proxy firewall toolkit. LSM is a pluggable module interface 
for access control systems. Read this paper:

    "Linux Security Modules: General Security Support for the Linux
    Kernel". Chris Wright, Crispin Cowan, Stephen Smalley, James Morris,
    and Greg Kroah-Hartman. Presented at the 11^th USENIX Security
    Symposium <http://www.usenix.org/events/sec02/>, San Francisco, CA,
    August 2002. PDF <http://immunix.com/%7Ecrispin/lsm-usenix02.pdf>.
