;;; sorry again -- my thunderbird habit does not work for your message
Well, please educate me. All I hear from advocates is "more security" without a concrete example. You mentioned the danger of emails get stolen without SELinux. Please give me the scenario. So we can gauge the risk.
Simple example. Daemons running under selinux can only access the things they are expected to be accessing. So if I was to crack your httpd [...]
I am sorry, but I assumed a desktop system all along. I believe that is clear when I say that SELinux is not necessary for most. The comments I quoted are /not/ about servers too.
And from the context it was clear that you talked about a browser exploit when you said "its much harder to steal all my email, run off with my credit card data or just be a nuisance."
I assume you know the chances that an average linux user actually get exploited in that way is very low.
