I haven't used and don't know much about it or its relationship, if
any , with fedora , I don't think it goes as far as SELinux but that
is just speculation based on a quick overview of the following which i
will now review in depth to correct any mistaken notions i might have.
If you come across better resources that explain this better please
post back.
