That is why I started asking here- I just cant get through that stuff on my own. At least not only to myself it is a mystery... I do not wan t to disable it, but if un-userfriendliness could be considered a bug (or is it a feature?), then it is buggy. I dare to use the definition bug because it: 1) Prevents the service from doing what it is supposed to do (if I cant use it then it is disabled and therefore not protecting me) 2) Was not the obvious intention of the programmer who created it. But I'd be better off expressing that on the SELinux lists. Thank you. Dotan Cohen http://lyricslist.com/lyrics/biography/51/backstreet_boys.php The Backstreet Boys Song Lyrics and Biography
