Book Description

If you want an effective means of securing your Linux system--and who doesn't?--this book provides the means.

This Notebook has been assembled from information that is available within the public domain and where necessary, updated to reflect the Linux Security Module (LSM) and Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) services as built into the Fedora 10 release of GNU/Linux.

It should help with explaining:

1. SELinux and its purpose in life.
2. The LSM / SELinux architecture, its supporting services and how they are implemented within GNU/Linux.
3. The core SELinux policy language and how basic policy modules can be constructed for instructional purposes.
4. The core SELinux policy management tools with examples of usage.
5. The Reference Policy architecture, its supporting services and how it is implemented.

However, this Notebook will not explain how the SELinux policies are managed within each GNU/Linux distribution as they have their own supporting information (e.g. Fedora has the Fedora 10 SELinux User Guide and Gentoo has the Gentoo SELinux Handbook).
