What is SELinux Policy Editor FOR LINUX?

SELinux Policy Editor

SELinux Policy Editor (or seedit, if you want to get technical) is a handy tool that makes working with SELinux policies super easy. This awesome software was originally crafted by Hitachi Software, so you know it’s got some solid backing.

What is SELinux Policy?

The SELinux Policy Editor is split into two main parts: the Simplified Policy and various tools. So, what’s this Simplified Policy all about? It uses something called Simplified Policy Description Language (SPDL). This language helps hide all the complicated details of SELinux configurations. Basically, it uses name-based settings and reduces the number of permissions you need to worry about.

User-Friendly GUI

This tool comes with a graphical user interface (GUI) that makes generating SPDL a breeze! Admins don’t have to memorize any tricky syntax, which is a huge relief. And if you're more into the command line vibe, don’t worry—there are command line tools included too!

Example Policy for Apache

Let’s check out an example policy for Apache using SPDL:

domain httpd_t;

    program /usr/sbin/httpd;

    allow /var/www/** r,s;

    allownet -protocol tcp -port 80 server;

As you can see in this example, there’s no need to stress over types. You can simply use file names and port numbers to get your configuration just right.

Try It Out!

You can give SELinux Policy Editor a spin on Fedora Core 5. The best part? It won’t mess with your existing SELinux policies at all! So if things go sideways, you can easily switch back to the default settings without any hassle.
