Re: SELinux and compatibility

[Paul Bender <pbender qualcomm com>]

I do not think anyone can provide a blanket answer. However, here is my 
experience:
(1) I have had no problems with the RPMs from Fedora, Linva or Codeweavers
2. I have had no problems using the vanilla 2.6.4 kernel with the 
appropiate SELinux options enabled in the config
3. I have had no problems using the Cisco VPN 3000 drivers with my 
SELinux enabled vanilla kernel. (The Fedora kernel has problems 
unrelated to SELinux
