 This testing was done with clean installs on hardware and using vmware.

1.  install selinux-policy-mls and switch to it using the
system-config-security tool ... then reboot and do the relabeling
(enforcing=0).  Then reboot again (enforcing=1) ... oops, an almost
immediate kernel panic!

2.  OK, get the system back up in targeted mode.  I then thought I would
try strict ... install selinx-policy-strict ... then reboot and do the
relabeling (enforcing=0).  Ten reboot again (enforcing=1) ... better ...
no kernel panic ... but not much better since some services fail starting
and, when I logon as root, I cannot do anything.
Grumble, grumble.  Naturally, what did not work at work now works (sort of)
when I try to reproduce it at home.  I do believe that there are some
problems but I need to "better" reproduce them.

I would still like to know if someone has installed something like fc6test3
and then installed and switched to the mls policy ... did it work? ... did
it not work?

Well, at least one of the problems (kernel panic) appears to be hardware related ... does not work on old dual P4 (Dell 350 workstation) but does work on AMD X2 4400+ processor system. There are still some services that are not working but that will take a lot more work to track down.

MLS Policy is a server only policy. IE We don not support X-Windows. So if you want to change to MLS you need to remove all X-Windows software and relabel. Then it should work, but you need to understand how an MLS environment works.

Strict policy is not heavily tested in Fedora. Most people run targeted. We will look at any problems that you have with it, though.

There is not that much difference between strict and targeted policy at this point on the system space side and I want to work on adding Userspace confinement via targeted policy and booleans in the future. So people can begin to confine userspace if they so choose.
