This page documents the current state of SELinux in OpenXT on the master branch.SELinux was temporarily switched to permissive mode in dom0 and the ndvm for the jethro update. 

Status

As of commit 68b8751b4fdc9998acbb5a70321f1259923b12ad, SELinux is once again enforcing by default in dom0 and the ndvm, and should be providing comparable protection to what was provided before the jethro merge (including MCS protection of qemu, which is default-confined by MCS in the refpolicy).  If you encounter a problem that you believe is due to SELinux, you can confirm whether SELinux is the culprit by checking /var/log/messages in dom0 for any "avc:  denied" messages and by re-testing with SELinux temporarily in permissive mode by running setenforce 0 in dom0 and/or the ndvm.  If SELinux is the culprit, please either resolve the denial yourself through policy change or post the denials and a description of what you did to trigger them to the openxt group so that someone else can address them.

ToDo
