Oh, just as I had posted this message I found the "Fedora Core 2

SELinux FAQ" at

That clears out many questions, but does anyone have any good reasons why
I should have SELinux turned on? The machine is connected to the internet
just few hours a day and I have all the services off on the
system-config-securitylevel.
I suppose SELinux provides the ACL mechanism, but I'm not sure I need it
.. afterall it may be a bit overkill for two-user computer. ;)
If you need to disable SELinux , simply edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and
change SELINUX=enforcing (or permissive) to SELINUX=disabled . On older
kernel versions , you had to add a option during boot , but it has been
disabled.
Also , ACL is not related to SELinux. You can disable SELinux without
any fear of problems...
