[Discuss] SELinux & IPTables

[markw at mohawksoft.com (markw at mohawksoft.com)]

My first rule of thumb is to not use IPTables until after everything is
setup and running. Then start it and fix what breaks.

My second rule of thumb is to not enable SELinux until after everything is
setup and running. Then enable it and fix what breaks.

You really really need a working base line before you enable these things
because they can break services and applications in pretty unpredictable
ways.
