The correct command is 'ls -Z’ -la tells you nothing about the selinux permissions. Z is the standard switch for any selinux aware tools like ls and ps etc.
SELinux IMO is great (I say that now, I used to disable it also), once you learn how to use it that is. Its actually really simple to learn as well, it just works differently and in a far better way than the standard permissions system. On 7/03/2014, at 7:54 pm, C.
