Selinux is there to protect you from malicious websites that try to execute random code unto your machine. It is many times hard to deal with, but for whichever problems you have please post them here, or to fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxxx Mr. Dan Walsh, and others(not to leave anyone out) on the fedora-selinux-list have been very helpful when I have problems with selinux, which I have had many and they have guided me correctly in determining a fix for the problems encountered. I have seen a flood of selinux denials (avcs), but I know that they are there to protect my computer from harms way. Regards, Antonio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
