SELinux disabled and Redhat?
 

Would it be a security issue if I disable SELinux in Redhat? I disabled it because I had problem connecting to mysql server which is hosted on another physical box.

Thanks

Technically yes. Why not learn how to enable SELinux with MySQL on RedHat?

You can look at enable SELinux for every thing but mysql. Take a look at

Disabling SElinux is like removing the exterior walls of your house because the key doesn't work in the door lock.

today’s SELinux is very easy to use
If i were YOU i would LEARN how to use it .

there are some very nice tools like "selinuxtroubleshooter" that will inform you about problems
and almost every normal everyday program has a rule in the updates from red hat

and SE should have the current rules from RHN

Thanks, you guys. Doing some more research on the web, I was able to connect to mysql with selinux enabled set.
