I don't see anything wrong about asking about the functionality and details of Selinux on my box here within this forum. There's alot of people that don't know anything about the internals of selinux and there's a small vanishing minority that actually do know something, but from whom we don't seem to be hearing. Then there are the nincomboobs that want to sweep the whole issue under the rug. LX
