While Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is an incredibly powerful tool for securing Linux servers, it has a reputation for being difficult to configure. As a result, many system administrators simply turn it off. Fortunately, the incredible amount of work completed by the SELinux community in recent years has made SELinux system administrator-friendly.
In this session, attendees will:
- Learn the basics of SELinux
- Review the SELinux architecture
- Discover how to configure, analyze, and correct SELinux errors
- See how to generate basic policy modules to enable non-SELinux-aware applications to work on SELinux-protected systems
- See real-world examples of how to use this tool
