Well, these "traditional" methods didn't work for your friend Karl,
since he was hacked with them.
Perhaps he had a false sense of security from the supposed other layers
claimed to be present, when paying attention to the obvious would have
been more beneficial. That's the main reason I question the value of
SELinux in the first place. It doesn't come into play unless you have
already made a mistake with the simple things and it diverts attention
and makes it appear to be unimportant to get those things right.
