[Cialug] SELinux

[Dave Hala]

That's the rub with most of the documentation. Especially stuff like
SeLinux. It's written referencing all this underlying stuff that only
someone who works writing code in the user/kernel space understands.

The coloring booking is great, but there has got to be a way to explain all
those underlying terms and functions in a way a new admin can understand.
That happens naturally then people write articles and howto's, but it
usually takes years.  It's too bad it can't happen in the beginning.

I have to admit that back in the rhel 5 era, I just turned Selinux off. The
time required to get started using it was just too great.
