You cannot simply copy it (need to install it (semodule -i). But you can
use a single binary presentation on most selinux enabled system (e.g.
deploy the single myshorewall.pp to various similar configured systems.)
Does that mean if the policy is compiled on i686-based machine it can
then run/be deployed on a x86_64 and visa versa?
Also, does semodule need to have a running SELinux as I need to deploy
this module on a Linux system (image) which does NOT have SELinux
running (yet)?
In other words, if I issue this command in chroot-ed environment would
that be enough? The "%post" section of the kickstart file does just that
- it chroots to the image as it has been built and from there I can do
whatever I like on the actual image, though this is not a running system
- i.e. SELinux on that system is not loaded! If that is possible and if
I run on different architectures (say the image is for x86_64 and the
machine on which the image is built is i686) would it matter?
