There does not seem to be much information when googling hobbit client and SELinux.
I have been creating RPM packages for RHEL 4 and RHEL 5, and the clients seemed to run fine. However when one of the other administrators, rebooted, one of the RHEL5 servers, it did not come up again. He insisted that somehow my client package interacted somehow with SELinux and that caused a halt in the boot process.
I never saw this myself.
Does anybody here have any experience with this or making special SELinux rules for Hobbit client?
Nope. Have had no problems with it under SELinux, but only 1 platform running the combination. If your "other administrator" can't give some empirical reasons for what he thinks, well, no reason to say anything unkind, it's Advent....
Generally in such a situation, if you actually have reason to suspect SELinux, you just chase it down via log entries and make adjustments. Sometimes it's as simple as a global relabel (touch /.autorelabel;shutdown -r 0).
