Hi Paul

I downloaded the latest version from nagios. I didn't see the latest
version in the repository.

Would you what command to run to fix this problem? I ran audit2allow
and inserted teh rules in local.te, and ran make. I restarted the
httpd, nagios and syslog daemons but still no joy.

Any ideas.

Thanks in advance
Dan
