Stephen,

Thanks, look this:

[roger at niobe ~]$ sudo rpm -qa | grep selinux-policy-targeted
[roger at niobe ~]$ sudo rpm -qa | grep selinux-policy
[roger at niobe ~]$

...seems i did not have ANY policy installed??????


btw. can somebody explain me the difference between

-targeted
-mls
-strict

??

Thanks,
Roger
