SELinux documentation

[Kees Cook-5]

Hi!

So, I'm hoping we can gather any Ubuntu-specific documentation into the
newly-created landing page for SELinux in the wiki (I moved the spec out
of the way):

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SELinux

I'd like to turn it into something useful for people interested in using
SELinux on Ubuntu.  It would be great to link to a DebuggingSELinux page
or similar, show examples of modifying profiles, etc, etc.

Is anyone up for working on that?

Thanks!

Wouldn't https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SELinux be a better place
to document SElinux for Ubuntu users?

Probably, but it's pretty far out of day from what I can tell...

As a comparison, we have both https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppArmor and
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor.

(The former doesn't even link to the latter.)

WRT AppArmor, the former is intended to be the landing page as Kees

said, with a brief explanation/overview, how it is integrated into
Ubuntu, with links to get more information. The latter and the server
guide are supposed to be the documentation on its use in Ubuntu, and
should be linked from the landing page. I think using the same approach
with SELinux is a good idea.

This was simply an ommission, which Kees has already fixed.
