Yes, but my question is just whether it is safe to yum remove selinux*? It
seems rather widespread, and I just wanted to be sure it won't cause other
problems if I remove it.
It is precisely for that reason - that it is so widespread - that I
personally would rather not remove it. What prompted you to start
contemplating that?
