Hi, I have used selinux enforcing since RHEL 5.4 on a 3-node RHCS cluster. I believe it has been supported since that release. I made some calls back in RHEL 5.3 regarding some issues, but all problems that I experienced have been resolved. I got plenty of support for my issues.
According to Dan Walsh, performance was addressed early on. I have not had any performance issues using selinux in RHEL 5, RHCS included.

That alone is enough to keep it off completly. We will be hosting a high-volume site where every millisecond counts. That site is composed of about a million files of different sorts. So, any added delay in accessing a file is not an option. -- Linux-cluster mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Linux-cluster mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
