Chapter 14. Working with SELinux

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Installing and configuring important SELinux tools
  • Working with SELinux security contexts
  • Working with policies
  • Troubleshooting SELinux

Introduction

This chapter is a collection of recipes that strive to demystify Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux), a mature technology for hardening your Linux system using additional security features added to the basic security system. It has been around for many years in the CentOS world but nevertheless is a somewhat little-known and confusing topic for a lot of system administrators.
