By and large, I wouldn't put learning to deal with SELinux, properly,
about on a par with learning to firewall a network properly.  And
similarly painful for people to deal with when they have strange/dopey
work habits.

I wish the context names weren't so darn weird though.  Long to type,
and unintuitive.

e.g. "unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t"  I'd *have* to read a manual to
know what "u," "r," and "t" refer to.  You can't tell just by reading
them.
