Is SELinux for curmudgeonly codgers?

Hi Bear Tooth,

These kind of issues are better discussed at the fedora-test-list or the
fedora-selinux-list (this is the desktop-list, ie for discussion on
desktop development). See http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo for
subscription. You can also find the archives there. Similar questions to
yours have been discussed on these lists in the last few days (at least
on the test-list), so you might want to browse the archive a little.

Also there's a FAQ that handles most basic questions at
http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/selinux-faq-en/ .

Leonard.
