So I would hope that people will work with it and not just turn it off as soon as they have a problem

I haven't had any problems and assume it's working fine on my system.  But how
do I know?  Will something show up in logwatch if there's something to worry
about?  What syslog message prefix indicates a SELINUX targeted policy
message?

(Yes, this is probably in the FAQ, so if you can point me to the right one,
I'll go off quiely and read it.)




You might see some change in behavior of applications and usually AVC messages in /var/log/messages.

For the most part you probably will see nothing.

sestatus shows you whether it is running or not.






ok. i got interested in checking this out. so:

[root@junior ntp]# grep AVC /var/log/message*
[root@junior ntp]# sestatus
SELinux status: disabled
[root@junior ntp]#



i thought that FC3 was defaulting to targeted? this is an upgrade from FC2 system, BTW.

what do i have to do now, to get it turned on?

Not sure this is in the FAQ or not.

SELinux does not get turned on by default on Upgrade only Fresh Install.

To turn on SELinux you need to

   install selinux-policy-targeted
   touch /.autorelabel
   reboot
