One place where a form of MAC security is in wide use is in protecting
server-side applications in Linux. SELinux is turned on by default, and
with a configuration that protects server applications, such as Apache,
unless you actively decide to turn it off.

In the early days of SELinux, there was an attempt to cover much more than
that by default, but that was considered to be too much out of the box, so
the default coverage was changed to server applications only.
