I recently moved from Ubuntu to Fedora 27, in part due to selinux being enabled by default. When I run `ps -alZ` I notice that there are a number of processes running unconfined (full list included below). Is it generally considered acceptable to have these processes running unconfined? It seems like a security vulnerability to me. If this is a vulnerability, does anyone know if it is safe to disable unconfined on my Fedora desktop and what would be the best way to go about this? Thank you, Nathan Owen `ps -alZ | grep unconfined` output (plus header line for clarity): LABEL F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 0 S 1000 1444 1439 0 80 0 -
