That article was about how a security expert would implement a custom security policy. It was not about everyday life on a SELinux enabled system. :-)

Number 9, number 9. Fedora 9 Preview has been cleared for takeoff! Posted Apr 19, 2008 22:48 UTC (Sat) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Serge started the article with a quote talking about simplifying administration. I finished it wondering how hellish complex the administration could have been beforehand if *that* made it simpler...

Posted Apr 20, 2008 0:36 UTC (Sun) by michich (subscriber, #17902) [Link] Serge probably had a different meaning of "administration" in mind than you. He meant the kind of administration where you actively take advantage of SELinux and confine your custom applications by writing MAC policies for them. You do this by adding SELinux types, roles and rules. If you find it too difficult, then don't do it. You can simply run your application unconfined, while leaving at least all the usual daemons in their confined domains. But writing completely new SELinux policies is not what the vast majority of administrators have a need to do (but if they do, they can start with the SELinux Policy Generation GUI tool).
