restricted guest domain accounts

Hello All,

I hope that you are all doing well today.

Some time ago, I was asking about locking users to their home directory but have recently been thinking that may not be completely required for our project.

As such, I have been looking at MANY method and various Operating Systems such as OpenBSD, and the like for possible solutions to this original delima.

If I now go along the lines that I will not isolate the users to their home directories but instead use the most secure OS for the job then I once again arrive back at SELinux which I am starting to like more and more.

That being said, I have now gotten SELinux up and running on a freshly installed Redhat 7.2 server.

What I am not looking to do is to humbly ask for some help from the list to create a guest domain so that I can add new users to and they will have very restricted abilities on the server. A simple example would be great if someone might have one to share with me.

I have also printed out the documentation on the website and am now reading over it to try and get a feel for how I can do things.

I will next be installing OpenOffice/StarOffice on my SELinux server but would like not to allow the guest domain users to run many of the existing applications that are in the "/bin /sbin /usr/bin ...." directories.

Perhaps only allow them to run just a few that I will decide upon.

It appears that SELinux can easily be set up for such thing and I hope that someone will please help to guide me through these initial difficult learning times.

Best Regards,
Lonnie
