The Fedora kernels are built with all of the labeled networking bits so you should be all set from a kernel point of view, but as Xavier/Ted pointed out you may need additional userspace packages to configure everything. > Also if I compile a kernel from source, is there anything that needs > to be done in the configuring of the kernel build to enable the > labeled networking? At this point I have to ask "what kind of labeled networking?" Labeled networking is a fairly generic term with three different mechanisms available on Linux: labeled IPsec (likely what you are reading about on Josh's blog), Secmark (search James Morris' blog, http://james-morris.livejournal.com), and NetLabel (search my blog, http://paulmoore.livejournal.com). Which are you interested in? Or perhaps more to the point, what are you trying to do? -- paul moore linux @ hp -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
