Hi,

I am trying to fix the dns section I wrote so it reflects using an RPM
instead of a tarball. I have only gotten around to one little section
regarding selinux, but I am going to include how to set the correct
context for each file/folder created.

I think it would be good to merge selinux into each section (if
applicable), considering it is shipped and enabled by default, instead
of making people look all over the place.

Regards,

Murray.
