Hi. Sorry in advance for the polemical tone and the topic that is not technical.
I have found really very interesting the recent indication of RHEL 5.4 cluster suite manual
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Cluster_Administration/index.html
2.7. Red Hat Cluster Suite and SELinux
Red Hat Cluster Suite for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 requires that SELinux be disabled. Before
configuring a Red Hat cluster, make sure to disable SELinux. For example, you can disable SELinux
upon installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or you can specify
SELINUX=disabled in the /etc/selinux/config
file.Yes disable not permissive.
Bearing in mind that most or perhaps all of the companies that use this distribution implement forms of HA with thr cluster suite.This is a real indication from a distribution to disable selinux anyway, just to have a certified product. My concern is the company who makes these statements and the fact that redhat cluster suite is really a company product, albeit open source. So it should be not so hard to resolve selinux issue.
Years of work on selinux thwarted by a statement that only a small change to the selinux policy could have resolved and may have already solved. Not a good thing for selinux.
regards
