SELinux is an important security technology. While it can be used in every Linux system, the SELinux security policy is in practice only usable in Red Hat based systems (RedHat EL, CentOS, Fedora, AlmaLinux …).

Carsten Strotmann explains the SELinux technology:

How SELinux secures a BIND 9 DNS server
How the Red Hat- supplied SELinux policies for BIND 9 work
How users can adapt the SELinux Policy for BIND 9
How to troubleshoot BIND 9 installations with SELinux

This is the first of a series of four webinars on BIND 9 application security. The slides for this one are at: https://www.isc.org/docs/2021-09-webi....
