[GLLUG] SELinux

[Steve Nelson]

A while back we failed to have a reasoned debate about SELinux - ie
no-one said anything!  I thought I'd raise it again...

Summary:

Agk claimed that all professional linux sysadmins will need to
understand it as it becomes mainstream over the next year or so.

A counter opinion was raised - this is unlikely; SELinux is  "an
over-engineered, non-Unix solution to a problem that affects a tiny
minority of high-end systems."

We're too old-fashioned to use SELinux - we're still running 2.4
kernels - but what are other people's experiences and/or opinions?
