SELinux Instructions
For the past several weeks I have been trying to learn SELinux, and as so
many before me, I find it extremely frustrating, ready to give up. Can
someone tell me where to start? It looks to me that all of the stuff
written about SELinux was written by Microsoft people in order to keep
people from using Linux. Take for example the 'cat' command relating to
/etc/pam.d/gdm - what in the world am I to get from this:
#%PAM-1.0
auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so
auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
auth required pam_env.so
auth substack system-auth
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
account required pam_nologin.so
account include system-auth
password include system-auth
session required pam_selinux.so close
session required pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_console.so
session required pam_selinux.so open
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session required pam_namespace.so
session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
session include system-auth
Where can I find information explaining the above? Is there a place where
one could find some sort of a basic template file? A file showing the
minimum initial settings that could be built upon?
It seems to me that inclusion of SELinux in Fedora is counterproductive.
Instead of providing users with a firewall they could manage after
negotiating a reasonable learning curve, the users are presented with this
monstrous security system understood only by full-blown programmers. Is
there a way of learning SELinux without the computer science degree
prerequisit?
