I am not new to Debian but this is the first time I have set up a Debian server-I have a minimal Squeeze install on a xen domu. I'd like to use selinux, but really don't want to pull in X with it, as apt wants to do.
Is anyone here using selinux on their debian server-if so can you get it going without X?
What exactly are you trying to do with selinux? Enable it? View alerts? You can do everything from the command line, as that is how selinux was designed. Here is a good write-up about most of the commands - http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/harden...?part=2&chap=2

Just want to install it. The problem was that it recommends aload of x packages, which is an interesting approach for someone who is installing a package intended to improve server security. I'll just install it without the recommended packages.

As responded here I managed load SELinux onto a standard installation of Lenny w/o probs. The installation pulled in about 100 megs worth of packages. I did notice some were X11 / Xorg or related libraries. The machine runs in runlevel 3, I'm pretty sure I ain't got X11 / Xorg, but I haven't tried removing libs yet.
Thanks for the replies. I read the squeeze release notes which told me that apt automatically installs recommends, I just disabled this as the notes suggest and have installed selinux without x packages.
