hi,

from https://www.suse.com/documentation/s...eneral.selinux

Quote:

As part of the “basic enablement”, SELinux will not be officially supported, but packages have now been added to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 to enable its usage with minimal effort. While AppArmor is much easier to use and has a similar feature set, knowing both will most certainly be beneficial.

and from http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-turn-off-selinux/

For all other Linux distros edit your boot loader config file (LILO or GRUB boot loader config file such as /boot/grub/grub.conf). Find the kernel line, append enforcing=0 at the end:

what if I don't have /boot/grub/grub/conf files

Code:

kumar:~ # ls -l /boot/grub/
total 204

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   7872 May 11  2013 fat_stage1_5

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   9320 May 11  2013 xfs_stage1_5

is it still enabled?

thanks!

How about

Code:

selinuxenabled && echo yes || echo no

for starters
you had to install the software needed for it
you had to start building your own custom kernels , to use it
you had to create your own rules from audit2alow

you "can" get it up and running BUT ....

if none of the above were done then SE can not be running

i had SE running on OpenSUSE 11.3
it was so much trouble i did not install it on 12

NOW on Fedora ,RHEL it runs SMOOTHLY
very well and with no large amount of effort
