I got:

# make reload
mkdir -p tmp
m4  -Imacros -s flask/security_classes ......
......
mv policy.conf.tmp policy.conf
mkdir -p /etc/selinux/targeted/policy
/usr/bin/checkpolicy -o /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.18 policy.conf
/usr/bin/checkpolicy:  loading policy configuration from policy.conf
security:  3 users, 4 roles, 343 types, 30 bools
security:  55 classes, 14894 rules
/usr/bin/checkpolicy:  policy configuration loaded
/usr/bin/checkpolicy:  writing binary representation (version 18) to

/usr/sbin/load_policy /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.18
unknown boolean use_syslogng
/usr/sbin/load_policy:  Warning!  Error while setting booleans:  Invalid argument
touch tmp/load
#

What else should I do? or just leave it as is?

Thanks!
