Except I actually do want to start using it. I've been disabling SELINUX forever because I wasn't familiar with using it. I've decided to change my tune on that this year and get more familiar with hit. I've always recognized it to be a good thing. Even if I didn't really have a clue about it.

Exactly, SELinux is great. Its a good room to have when you can get it working and it's another good layer of protection. Its better to learn to use the tool then just turn it off. Not every label has a rw option but it never hurts to try. :-) On Jan 22, 2015 1:18 PM, "Tim Dunphy" <bluethundr at gmail.com> wrote:> > > > The easiest answer is to edit the Selinux config file.

I really think it was lazy adminning on my part to chose not to use it. I want to correct that! Unfortunately taht was a dirty habit I picked up by working in some small shops that always turned it off. I'm going to start using it and gain some familiarity with it!
