In which case SELinux is ‘Security Blocking Software’.

I’m an advocate of calling a spade a ‘spade’. In any case, this post will highlight some of the issues I have with SELinux. But a lot of vendors still maintain that their applications must run within a permissive environment.

Things have moved on considerably since then. My first contact with SELinux came with a bodged Fedora release which came with a broken SELinux. Every workplace I have worked over the past 10 years have elected to put SELinux into permissive mode. While training for EX415 exam – I have had to come back into contact with SELinux. I don’t often have posts that show my personality – this will be one of them.
