Maybe because SeLinux is harder than hell to configure, if your favorite
application is not already configured. This is BY DESIGN to prevent
'ordinary' users from mucking around in it.
Yea, sure, can you imagine, one needs to know how to use no less than *two*
commands --- chcon and semanage --- this is waaay beyond the capabilities of
any mortal sysadmin... And reading their dreaded man pages, oh my, I get
scared just thinking about trying to read them...
There is a saying from where I come from --- people are not divided into
competent and incompetent, but into whiners and non-whiners.
Best, :-)
