FWIW.. Fedora Core 3 (The community version from RedHat) will have
SELinux active when doing a default install. It comes with 2
policies: strict and targeted. The targeted policy is more relaxed
(it only targets daemons, afaik).

The SELinux stuff can run in permissive mode, where it will log all
violations against the policy but will allow the action to go through,
which should help in tuning the policy.

Either way.. defining SELinux policies is still a tricky business.

It will be interesting to see what will come from this larger exposure.
