One more for it being a good thing to have. And one more to say the nay sayers are in the minority. I see a *few* people *claiming* it does no good, I haven't seem proof of that (and such proof would have to be related to current release software to be valid - claims about SELinux flaws from a few years ago are as invalid as claims about similarly old faults in other software that has since been updated). I see those people also *falsely* *claiming* that it *only* serves a purpose on already compromised machines. That is but one thing it could perform. I see those complaining about it are running very old versions, and are not experienced with the current ones. I see some of the complaints coming from people who do everything as the root user. All of that does nothing for the credibility of those complainers. For the *FEW* users who don't want it, there's plenty of other distros without it. Stop trying to subvert this one, and use one that already suits your purposes. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
