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 think hate is a strong word. It can be a pain when admin’ing machines that get a rule introduced that breaks something that previously worked, but I think most people never even realize it’s there.
