 The problem with SELinux is it becomes very difficult to configure
 properly if you don't have a normal, out-of-the-box configuration.

 For example, I never did figure out how to keep it from blocking an
 rsync backup.  I disabled it after that, because a system I can't back
 up is pretty useless no matter how secure it is. :)

Yeah, I'd seen that fix, too.  As I recall it worked temporarily, then
stopped working again, and issuing the command again didn't help for
reasons that I couldn't figure out.

I also had problems with SELinux breaking execution of external
scripts by the SNMP server.

I've seen various HOWTOs about how to craft new rules to permit things
like this, but many of them seemed to be out of date or referred to
tools that don't ship with RedHat.  Documentation is thin and the rule
syntax is so cryptic it makes sendmail.cf look like LOGO.  It was
obviously intended to be a no user serviceable parts inside sort of
system, but that only works if your setup is completely standard.

To be perfectly honest ... SELinux has frightening me from day one. For two
reasons.

1) The government had the fingers in it (I just can't fathom them
contributing positively and constructively to the F/OSS community.
2) Because it was so poorly documented that I couldn't figure it out. All it
did was serve to piss me off and I sought other, tried-and-true methods for
securing my systems.

Beyond this, I've never seen a real and valid use for SELinux ...

SEBSD, the MAC framework (http://www.trustedbsd.org/sebsd.html), was
integrated into FreeBSD in 5.x
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mac.html).

Other projects from TrustedBSD such as OpenBSM continue to be
integrated as they reach completion.
http://www.trustedbsd.org/news.html has details on the current projects.

 I was under the impression most of the stuff from trusted bsd was merged
into freebsd ages ago, as the trustedBSD project had accomplished its goals.

The problem with SELinux is it becomes very difficult to configure
properly if you don't have a normal, out-of-the-box configuration.

For example, I never did figure out how to keep it from blocking an
rsync backup.  I disabled it after that, because a system I can't back

I always thought it was a PITA, but I did figure out a couple of things 
(after hours fart-assing around). You have to take the error and make it 
into a module that allows the process to continue, but I don't blame 
anyone for just walking away- sometimes even then it still didn't work.


Mind you, unlike most things, you can't just stow the info away for 
quick retrieval to adjust something on the fly- it still takes you that 
long again: 1) you have to follow a different method again for each 
instance and 2) its an impossible process to remember! :)


Not to mention that it can cascade errors... its a hydra- fix one and 
another 2 errors crop up!


As for whiney- I was one of those (supposedly), and you're just told to 
shut up and take it because security is more important, and you should 
take the time to learn something (that will take the same length of time 
to fix _every_ time). I agree on the security, but the usage and howto 
shouldn't be so obscure as to confuse even the most determined learner.
