Update

Talk status
This discussion is still ongoing.

Very interesting documentation for starting on it, but I think an update with new profile (17.0 stable and/or 17.1 exp) is needed. On new profiles, it seems the /tmp is on the context without edit fstab and with OpenRC. Also, is possible add a command for list actual context, for example check if the tmpfs really complies the rules? Regards. Mustela (talk) 09:31, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

LSM

Talk status
This discussion is done as of 2024-03-08.

In the latest kernels, there is no “Default security module”. Instead one have to use “Ordered list of enabled LSMs”. The documentation should be updated accordingly. Sorry if I cannot do it myself, I am totally new at using SELinux and wouldn’t want to write something wrong. Stéphane, Gentoo in the Alps (talk) 17:04, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

As of 2024-03-08, the mentioned information is already in the article. --Lars Hint (talk) 10:55, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

SELinux related USE flags outdated

I'm not sure when this changed, but the listed USE flags are wrong for the sec-policy/selinux-base package. ILMostro (talk) 07:41, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Confirmed. Fixed. --Lars Hint (talk) 11:10, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

PaX/grsecurity recommendation

Talk status
This discussion is still ongoing.

It is seriously recommended to use SELinux together with other hardening improvements (such as PaX / grSecurity).

Is the PaX/grsec recommendation still relevant considering they stopped giving the patches out for free? The hardened-sources kernel used to provide grsec, but that's long gone now and the only way to use it would be to provide the patches yourself. I feel like this recommendation would only confuse users who aren't familiar with the grsec story already. xxc3nsoredxx (talk) 04:15, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

When to reboot?

Talk status

reboot after rebuild is mentioned, but nowhere in there a mark actually saying "reboot now"? --Damobrisbane (talk) 22:59, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

The reboot is required before relabeling. Now it's mentioned. --Lars Hint (talk) 10:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
