I finally finished building my selinux gui dev machine. It appears to be working fine. I have been working up to tackling the file_contexts file, it was a bit overwhelming at first (along with a crash course on tripwire, iptables, etc).
The only problem so far has nothing to do with selinux itself but Im hoping someone on this list can give me a pointer. Im not sure which network device to select during the menuconfig (xconfig) step. I have a Linksys Ether PCI Lan Card II. If anyone knows the required selection it would be very helpful.
Just in case anyone on this list did not see it already, there is an article on selinux in Sept 2001 issue of Linux Magizine. Theres also a good article on iptables for anyone caught in that learning curve.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with this card. But I'm assuming that the card was recognized when you installed RedHat 7.1 originally, so you should be able to determine the driver by looking at the 'dmesg' output or /var/log/messages after booting the ordinary RedHat 7.1 kernel.

This was a real mystery. There are three versions of the Ether PCI Lan Card II. Linux had incorrectly detected it as a later verison during the orginal installation and because I was not plugged into the network, and didnt check this out.
I have the oldest version which is ne2000 compatible. I selected ne2000 in xconfig, rebuilt the kernel, it works fine now.
