SELinux Book Review

A review of the newly published SELinux By Example is posted and can be found at http://www.unixreview.com/documents/s=10097/ur0609f/ur0609f.html. SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) has been talked about for quite a while and been written about for almost as long. What is surprising is that there has never really been a book written that functions as a hands-on guide for its implementation in the real world. This despite the fact that it is supported in Red Hat, Debian, Gentoo, and others. SELinux by Example fills that void and does so admirably.
