Question SELinux and Host-based NIDS


As to what i understand from the defination of host-based NIDS, would it be wise to say that SELinux fulfils the criteria for being a replacement for a host-based NIDS?

NO. they are two different things... selinux is used to harden a system using things like mandatory access control, while a network intrusion detection system is used to, well, detect network intrusions and intrusion attempts...
