SELinux has been a *disaster* in system security, costing far more wasted productivity and engineering resources than many of active worms or attack vectors of the Linux world, most of which it does not really help with. (Bad PHP is bad PHP, and SELinux does not necessarily help at all.)
You called that. I had to turn selinux off ages ago as it foo bars Samba. Selinux is a good idea that never made it to the practical phase. And, I wrote/configured my own firewall: all things are illegal, except those things that are legal. It is really nasty. You want in or out, you have to have a rule. Even troubleshoots your network setup (won't work unless it sees what it wants). -T
