The O'Reilly SELinux book by Bill McCarty also provides an excellent 
treeware presentation of SELinux.  It won't keep you awake at night but 
it provides a really complete explanation of how SELinux works, how to 
create and customize policies, etc. 

Humorously, SELinux would even *prevent* the example of given by Dave 
Boles of the NVidia binary driver sending back information to the 
"mother ship".  SELinux policy (if active) would not allow a video 
driver to open a network link. ;-)

Here's a link to O'Reilly for the book:

Unfortunately, the book is already a little dated with regard to 
distribution specifics since it was published in 2004.

Cheers,
Dave
