You really want to be asking that over on honeypots at securityfocus.com,
as that's where *everybody* is to be found.  Feel free to come back once
you get to asking "How do I use selinux to secure a honeypot?" (answer -
somebody needs to write .te and .fc files for honeyd).

Hmm.. actually, that *is* a very sensible thing to do.  Any takers? ;)
