This is not a troll post. I’m genuinely confused as to why SELinux gets so much of hate. I have to say, I feel that it’s a fairly robust system. The times when I had issues with it, I created a custom policy in the relevant directory and things were fixed. Maybe a couple of modules here and there at the most. It took me about 15 minutes max to figure out what permissions were being blocked and copy the commands from. Red Hat’s guide.
So yeah, why do we hate SELinux?
I’d love to develop a muscle memory for working with it, but nowhere I’ve worked uses it at all. But from memory it really wasn’t that complicated, and the errors it spat out into system logs basically told you exactly what command to run to get past that particular violation.
I don’t hate it at all. Just, never seen it used anywhere.
