SELinux User Guide

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Apologies if this doubles up for anyone.

My name is Murray McAllister and I am working as a content author for Red Hat. I have recently started a new project -- an SELinux User Guide -- with Daniel Walsh, Michael Smith, and a few other people from Red Hat.

There are a few SELinux books, but these are very technical. We want to create a guide that people with no previous SELinux experience can use, to allow them to do what they want without turning SELinux off.

I have started a rough information plan that includes the current schedule, information sources, and some ideas for the content that may be included. The information plan is located at <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/SELinux_User_Guide/SELinux_Information_Plan>. The main project page is located at <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/SELinux_User_Guide>.

Among other things, we are going to try to cover the following topics from the current SELinux project documentation todo list (http://selinuxproject.org/page/Documentation_TODO):

* "Explain how to interpret an AVC message and how to get additional information via SYSCALL audit, including how to add a simple syscall audit filter to enable collection of PATH information".
* Document Confined Users".
* "Update FC5 FAQ".
* "Document the use of the mount command for overriding file context".
* "Describe Audit2allow and how it can just Fix the machine".
* "Update and organize the Fedora SELinux FAQ".

If anyone has any ideas about what they would like to see in the guide, or any corrections to the current topics we would like to include, please let us know. As well, user feedback and comments can be left at <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/SELinux_User_Guide/SELinux_Feedback>. A Fedora account (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/) is required to use the Wiki - if you do not have one, please do not hesitate to mail me directly, or respond to this thread.

Thanks for your time,

Murray.
