Hi All,

I have always found selinux a pain in the neck, and in
past have just removed it to get my stuff working.

Question: what are the ramifications of just removing
selinux from SL 6.1?  Is selinux worth the effort?

Many thanks,

SELinux is just a couple of more of steps when configuring the system. Its a

some of the application docs, (notably Samba).

Not finding it in "man smb.conf".  Am I blind?

Worse case, you can use the audit file as well as the SELinux Troubleshooter 
utility to diagnose the issue. In most case, it is easy to resolve.

What are the ramifications of just disabling selinux?  Good idea?  Bad Idea?
