The possibility of SELinux targeted policy in the default install
Hi,
Long past when I thought the tool chain foe SELinux would
stabilize, we have a working set of packages for the targeted policy
(the same one Red Hat ships in fedora/rawhide).
Just installing a SELinux policy package is all that is now
needed in unstable; that should pull in all the packages it needs.
With the help of
apt-rdepends --dotty selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted
I have managed to determine that the packages not already included in
Priority Standard are:
,----[ Additional packages required ]
| Package: selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted
| Size: 1232692
| Installed-Size: 16712
|
| Package: policycoreutils
| Size: 348324
| Installed-Size: 3304
|
| Package: libsemanage1-dev
| Size: 333718
| Installed-Size: 2076
|
| Package: libsemanage1
| Size: 70910
| Installed-Size: 296
|
| Package: python-semanage
| Size: 115336
| Installed-Size: 648
|
| Package: python-selinux
| Size: 61788
| Installed-Size: 308
|
| Package: python-support
| Size: 22934
| Installed-Size: 104
`----
The size of the .debs for targeted policy is 2185702 Bytes.
No special configuration should be required; the default
configuration out of the box ought to work.
As shipped, the Debian kernel images have SELinux compiled in,
but disabled, a command line parameter is required to turn SELinux
on. When SELinux is turned on (by enabling it in grub), the default
policy setting are that the machine would come on in permissive mode,
using the targeted policy; so the worst case scenario is that the
there would be lots of log messages if someone "accidentally" turned
on SELinux.
At this point, the selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted package
still needs some love, but we should be close to getting it in shape
RSN™. We also need the packages uploaded yesterday into Sid to
migrate to testing.
Is there some other information I can provide?
