http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm following the Debian SELinux setup guide with my Linux Mint Debian Edition system. I installed the necessary packages: sudo aptitude install selinux-basics selinux-policy-default selinux-utils policycoreutils Activated SELinux and rebooted twice: sudo selinux-activate Checked the installation. No critical errors were reported: sudo check-selinux-installation When I run a simple sandbox command, e.g. sandbox -X -H ~/selinux/home -T ~/selinux/tmp -t sandbox_web_t firefox it tells me that the sandbox command wasn't found. I've seen other questions that seem to indicate with Debian (HowTos)

Debian: SELinux not enabled 39 weeks 3 days ago

I'm trying to setup SELinux on Debian 6 according to (the instructions reported on the Debian wiki).

I've run this commands:

apt-get install selinux-basics selinux-policy-default selinux-activate

After reboot, the system should have taken a while to label the filesystems on boot and then rebooted a second time when that was complete.

I'm trying to run evince in the SELinux sandbox:

sandbox -X /usr/bin/evince Unixforpoets.pdf

but after waiting for minutes nothing happens, console doesn't outputs anything.

Selinux fixed or broken 7 weeks 5 days ago

I have been using Fedora since fc17, and selinux has been giving me errors using fprintd, printer and other pre-installed applications. I have always depended upon selinux for troubleshooting purposes. I have recently upgraded to Fedora 18, and have notice no selinux alerts at all. I have checked to ensure that selinux is on and working properly, and it appears to be. With that said...

Setting up SELinux 1 year 50 weeks ago

I'm using the Testing repositories, and I'm trying to configure SELinux. I found a guide for setting it up in Debian HERE, and I've edited all the appropriate config files, but I have a big problem. When I try to install selinux-policy-default, Apt wants to remove EVERYTHING that makes the system usable, including all kernels, ALSA, and all of the Xorg drivers.

I searched the forum for what SELinux is and came up with old outdated threads that link to pages on sites that have been moved or deleted.

What is SELinux and why do I need it? I'm new to Fedora, btw. Just trying to find out why I keep getting errors that SELinux picks up. Are they errors I need to fix?

The system I'm having problems with is actually Ubuntu but since SELinux is more 'native' to Fedora and I'm not getting anywhere from that side of things I'd thought I'd ask here.

I've used SELinux for years now on my Fedora installations and of course as soon as I branch out and try it on another distro I run into problems.

I have been using Fedora for about two years. I love it except one thing: I can not get used to SELinux. SELinux in Fedora evolves rapidly and it is not uncommon that an updated SELinux breaks up other things. So here is my question: is it really useful for a desktop which doesn't have a whole bunches of services running except OpenSSH? I am deciding whether to disable SELinux for good.

Hi all, i came across the following method of how to permanently disabling selinux and it's notifications. Although changing enforcement from the gui into permissive mode does most of the job, the notifications still pop-up when some applications are started. So to disable it do the following:

open terminal as root and execute:
