selinux lib removal

[John Logsdon]

Hi

I specifically *don't* want to use selinux and in particular I don't want
to depend on libselinux.so.1 that I can't remove.

[root at pan pan]# rpm -e libselinux
error: Failed dependencies:

        libselinux is needed by (installed) vixie-cron-3.0.1-87

Would I need to compile all the programs that depend on libselinux against
another library before removing?  It does seem to me to be against the
fundamental tenents of security to fork these programs.

TIA

Best wishes
