===== SELinux and Fedora By Jake Edge July 9, 2008 Red Hat has undoubtedly done more to make SELinux usable than any other organization, but has it actually reached the point where it can be enabled by default for all desktops? The Fedora project clearly thinks so. Not only is SELinux enabled, but the installer no longer has an option to disable it or to put it into "permissive" mode. Most of the posts in a thread on the fedora-devel mailing list see that as the right choice, but some are not so sure. [...] There are efforts underway to add easier ways for users to report SELinux log messages, perhaps even in an automated way, so that policy or application problems get identified and fixed more quickly. While it may not be easy for long-time Linux users to adjust to an SELinux-enabled system, it is getting to the point where average users, who never use the command line, rarely run into problems. And those are just the kind of users who need the level of security that SELinux can provide. ===== -- Soh Kam Yung my Google Reader Shared links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/16851815156817689753) my Google Reader Shared SFAS links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/16851815156817689753/label/sfas) _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
