There is another way to look at it. It may add too much sophistication to to the electric wiring of your house, then due to added bugs sometimes the locks to front doors may jump open on their own... ;-) I'm referring to controversy of SElinux: not only it can be disabled on the fly (thus making it easily defeated), but it adds hundreds of thousands of lines of code to the kernel, thus quite likely introducing bugs (likely with security implications). Some were saying it from the very beginning... and indeed there was security patch for SElinux not long ago... Just mentioning to add some balance. Nothing is ultimately good (or bad), there is no panacea. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Valeri Galtsev Sr System Administrator Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics University of Chicago Phone: 773-702-4247 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
