Actually, check out this month's Linux Journal.  They have two articles about 
SELinux.

It's actually not a snooping system.  It's a method of access control applied 
to the standard linux kernel and some helper utilities that make it all work.  
It's actually pretty nice.  Very similar to trusted solaris or pitbul for 
redhat.
