Subject: ACL, SELinux, and chroot.
Ok, I am doing up this test server using FC4 (it was what I had handy) and I
need a brief understanding of the differences between ACL and SELinux before I
spend most of my weekend learning on or the other.

What I believe I understand so far is that SELinux restricts the rites of
users and processes to the system (like chroot?) however ACL limits users or
processes access to a file. Is this correct?

Should I focus on learning ACL for file permissions and chroot for users
logins? How about SELinux, will it lock down the logins?

Just point me down the rite road and I am sure I can find the path.... Then
promptly get lost again and ask for more instruction :)
