Hi All,
I'm migrating a CentOS 6 bind instance (chrooted) to a CentOS 7 box and am curious of people's opinions on chrooting vs selinux as a way of securing bind.
The bind-chroot on CentOS 7 also comes with a script (/usr/libexec/setup-named-chroot.sh) that sets up the much maligned systemd and, through bind mounts, creates and extra level of chroot hierarchy giving:
/var/named/chroot/var/named/chroot/var/named
which seems totally unnecessary.
I'm sure that bind-chroot would be happy enough running without the bind mounts but would I be loosing anything in terms of security?
Also, would I bother with chrooting at all if selinux can secure the environment for me?
My own opinions aside what do others think and has anyone had experience with this?
Kind regards, Tom
