I have mine running that way.

I bluntly admit not using SELinux, because until now, I mainly used more
bone-headed systems that didn't implement it. Maybe this is the right
time to get started.

I understand there's a wealth of information about SELinux. Any
recommendations for a newbie-friendly primer? I don't mind to RTFM, even
extensive documentation, but I prefer stuff that's well-written.

Cheers,

I don't use SELinux because it gets in my way far more than it every actually protects me from anything.

I'm sure there are systems where it absolutely is necessary, but I don't like to have stuff fail because I used mv instead of cp to install a certificate, for example.

I need to do DNSSEC next; got to bother Mark Andrew over at ISC, did not get to sit down with him on this at IETF. So I don't know what certs I will need as yet. For my mailserver, I am using self-signed, and see my Apache setup, towards the end, how I create a set of certs:

http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-mailserver.html#Setting%20up%20Apache

I had some help on this from the OpenSSL list.


For authoritative DNS I also do not use chroot but authoritative DNS is all those servers do, and I use zones signed externally via DNSSEC (no private keys on the server)

Something to consider, but I would do it on one of my internal systems. Not a third party; why should I trust them? Unless they are providing a full DNS PKI service.
