Until you do something that SELinux would have protected you from... People do actually do things that need securing, on home computers (do their banking, etc.). Just browsing the internet and reading your mail are the two major points of breakdown on the Windows world, and I'd like it if that problem doesn't migrate over to Linux, as well. I can't say that I've had mammoth problems with SELinux. I've had occasional glitches, but then the errant program usually gets *fixed* up quite promptly, so it stops trying to do things that it shouldn't be doing. Using very strict SELinux rules on test machines, ones that test packages before release, could only be a good thing for everybody else. Of course there are some people who insist that there should be no restrictions, and that any file should be readable by any person, and any program able to do whatever it wants. I tend to think of those people as clueless, or suspect that they are trying to advocate something that aids them in hacking other people's computers. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
