How in the world do you get seamonkey and its corresponding .so files into the selinux fold? Or better yet, are there guidelines and assistance given to the Fedora-Extras maintainer that allow their rpms to set items to the needed SELinux content, in order to work out of the box?


Just file a bug report with the relevant information in this thread. There is a draft guide that package maintainers can follow to write policies when required. SELinux denials can also indicate broken code which needs to be fixed.

Thanks for the links. I am still having troubles grasping the management of SELinux. It is debatable as to how far one is willing to venture in order to get a desired program to work or just render SELinux totally ineffective by putting it in permissive or disabling it altogether.

With a modification applied that firefox and thunderbird use in selinux policies, seamonkey works again and SELinux is crippled as it is for other mozilla derived applications. It is active again though.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202642
leads to the previously discussed bug which was closed. Comment #8 from the close bug report works to allow SELinux to remain in enforcing instead of disabled systemwide.
