I do find that on mail lists, questions that are specific get specific answers and questions that are general get more general answers and as I said previously in the thread, selinux does have a certain amount of denseness that is apparent in the questions that people often ask. I know that I have not had to resort to gender impersonation in order to get answers from the selinux list. I think that your cynicism regarding gender and the selinux list probably relates more to your own perceptions than to reality. Having tracked down an issue with selinux, postgresql and pam/ldap authentication on a CentOS 4 system not too long ago, I recognize the frustration of life with selinux and it took several days of questioning both the postgresql and selinux lists before I got it resolved and ended up leaving my solution on the postgresql list in case someone follows down the same path or even better, for Tom Lane (one of the principle postgresql developers and rpm packager for Red Hat) to use. There are some that curse the darkness and those that light candles. Craig
