Re: SE Linux

A lot of work has been done to make SE Linux easy to use. For most users it will simply work and they won't notice that it is there.

If a user had a problem and suspected that SE Linux might be related, in addition to using the trouble-shooting tools (as has already been suggested) they also have the option of using "setenforce".

The command "setenforce 0" will stop SE Linux from enforcing access controls, after completing the test the command "setenforce 1" will make it start enforcing access controls again. So instead of having the security reduced all the time, you have it reduced for the 5 minute window of the test run.
