SELINUX - Non ASL server advice
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 11:15 am
Hi,
After my server crash a few weeks back, I reinstalled my server but left ASL (paid subscriber) off for the moment. My reasoning is that I'm getting a new server in a week or so, and will want to use the subscription I'm currently on for the new server, and then purchase another subscription later in say a month or so.
So currently I have the ART yum channel installed, and I have qmail, clamd and spam assassin handling emails. I've restricted the SSH port to my IP via firewall, and also set Protocol 2 and disabled the root login, as well as adding a new SSH user.
Also I've set SELinux to permissive mode, as I remember there being some issues with clamd/qmail and SELinux. I made a note to that effect, but sadly the note I made doesn't explain why.
Is it ok to leave SELinux in permissive mode?
