As i wrote to Tim a minute ago did i read an IF over there ??? Since as u say it´s IF and WHEN i get infected then i will cause problems to others. > SELinux is designed to prevent that level of stupidity. >Sorry, but you have to read through several RFCs to understand >your ability to screw things up royally when you are on > the Information Superhighway. Please take time and read RFC 1087. > It basically spells out YOUR responsibilities when driving there. I would gladly take some pointers . As for RFC 1087 since i don´t think that i have a local copy of it but i guess rfc-editor has . I will get a copy of it in a couple of hours since now i have to run to work . > How would you feel if failure to use SELinux infects hundreds > if not thousands of systems with a virus? Not very well i guess . > How would you feel if not using SELinux saves your work from being > inadvertently destroyed? Well i never stopped using SELinux , just in case something that SELinux was doing something good and i didn´t have an idea about it . For this particular subject that I opened the thread in the first place besides disabling execstack with the information provided in this very thread ( on all system libraries , not just those of Acrobat Reader ) i just updated my computer since that would probably resolve the issue ( well that was suggested and it actually resolved the problem ) . Don´t take me wrong if i was aware of all the RFCs that u mention above i would gladly take time and read them . But since my normal work doesn´t have to do with RFC studying i am not doing it . Do also consider that if am unaware that something is out there then am not going to prevent myself from running into it . -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
