SELinux Mailing ListRe: Now that SELinux supports booleans should we replace tunables with booleans?
From: Russell Coker <russell_at_coker.com.au>

For most items in tunable.te they won't be changed often or for small reasons. In some cases changing tunable.te will require application restart (or system reboot) to fully take affect. The aim of booleans is for things that are designed to be transient (EG secure levels). Also if we use booleans for tunables we need to have boolean support for role and domain transitions (currently not implemented), and a mechanism for preserving boolean values across a reboot. I think it's best to continue with tunables the way they are. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
