There is a list (or at least there was) where it is dedicated on getting 
things working correctly with SELInux enabled. The people on the list 
are very helpful. I would search the archives first anyway for answers.

There are different schemes to set policy for your files to work 
correctly. You can do this by compiling the policy, which will set your 
file permissions correctly. There are also binary programs that correct 
your file/directory/programs to the needed permissions.

This was a bit interesting to try, but it is more complicated than "it 
just works". I think the list is called selinux-fedora-list but am not 
sure. Hopefully once joined and contributing to making SELinux 
practical, it will be ready to go for Fedora 3. SELinux was supposed to 
be in FC2 but reformulating the way things are done is in development.
