I'll second that. SELinux is OK for a desktop system (email, web, word processing) or a file server but it is unusable for most other applications. At least now, there is a way to configure it to allow certain things but getting that to work can be painful. I find if you're not making the computer publicly accessible (i.e. remote login from the world), you don't need that level of security. So why go through the pain to try and enable SELinux. ________________________________________________________________________ Daniel Vietor Mail: devo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Unisys Corp Title: Engineer/Meteorologist 2476 Swedesford Rd Phone: 610-648-3623 Malvern PA 19355 Fax: 610-695-5524
