A newbie question about SELinux

Hello everybody,
I've a question about SELinux.
Let's imagine a user acquire root rights. Especially on Fedora Core, which modify su command to map it to sysadm_r role, couldn't he/she simply disable SELinux, delete logs, and so on?
Kisses,

Nat

If you're root you can do anything...absolutely anything...with the system...Root is the most powerful account on a Linux system..use it carefully..

If you have root you can disable services , SElinux delete logs...everything...Is that what you were asking or did you have anything else in mind?

Please post back.
