Thanks Daniel,

OK - I am running F11:
# rpm -qa | grep -i selinux-policy
selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.12-91.fc11.noarch
selinux-policy-3.6.12-91.fc11.noarch

Will there be a F11 version? (If so what version will it be in?)

In the meantime I should keep using my local policy I guess?...

Thanks again

Mark
