<p>
If you use Gentoo Hardened with SELinux, then you'll eventually need to
configure your system to work with the policies (or update the policies to work
with your system). To help you tune the policy, insight in how the modules are
structured and what they contain is necessary.
</p>
<p>
Gentoo Hardened tries to document the common modules as well as how they are
structured. Also, we document what configuration changes are often requested and
how to deal with them. If a module contains booleans, we explain them in more
detail.
