Hello all!
I am trying to enable SELinux on bootup for my supported kernel
2.6.26.8.tex1
I am running PCLinuxOS 2009 Beta 2 which is based on Mandriva/Mandrake
From my reading, I know that I am able to set SELinux to boot (preferably in passive mode) however this would still 'change' my files; therefore I would need to run the utility/command: "setfiles"
setfiles
_____________________________________________
The problem I am having relates to the supporting files needed to run the application effectively. For my linux distribution, the config/info file is located here:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.26.8.tex1/security/selinux/Kconfig
It states:
downloading the needed packages from
Download stable SELinux release,
I then try to compile but receive numerous errors such as this example for the checkpolicy package (which contains the setfiles) command
[root@localhost checkpolicy-1.34.7]# make -f Makefile
cc -g -Wall -Werror -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -I. -I/usr/include -o checkpolicy.o -c checkpolicy.c

I turns out I am unable to compile any of the packages. Am I missing something very obvious or is this because of all the changes the kernel versions go through in relation to drivers?
_________________________________________
At this point, I am seriously considering just building the kernel from scratch but my question is, if i am to do this, how difficult would it be to 'copy' the final working settings from this configuration into my boot sequence for my present distribution? Would this be unnecessarily messy? Any other suggestions?
