Hi There,
If your machine is purely a server and has no local accounts for
ordinary users, you can implement an effective sercurity policy using
appropriate partitioning, fstab entries, wrapper and firewall
configuration without the baggage of SElinux.
Save yourself the headache and turn it off!

Pete
