    SELinux enters the chat

    Sure you own it, your groups owns it, its permissions are 777, SELinux says GEEEEEEET FUUUUUUCKED.

      Selinux is great. It provides actual security to a system

          Honestly I’ve never had to do anything but the defaults so I can’t really testify to that.

            It’s a bit of an ordeal on the server-side of things if you don’t know what SELinux does. These days “is SELinux fucking something up?” is a regular on my troubleshooting list, though.

      But then you get the pleasure of making it submit. My Minecraft server is now running in GNU screen just like I wanted it to, and SELinux can only look on and whimper softly.
