Why did you snip the rest of my comment about the manpages? Or was that in a subsequent message since this seems to be bouncing back and forth between private mail and the list? I don't know and this has gone on long enough with nothing but shouting and handwaving which is bound to upset the rest of the readers of this list. I stated precisely what was wrong with those manpages and I see no reason not to say it out loud. Docs don't get fixed if we are not allowed to fault them and those are damned sure faulty. To be precise, since this is going back to the list now, I said words to the effect of "where are the definitions of all the UPPERCASE named variables used within the -this and -that options" This is in reference to the chcon manpage folks, but they (selinux related manpages) are all equally guilty of hiding the information that would make them usable without all this absolutely useless badmouthing of selinux in public. They (the definitions of those vars shown in UPPERCASE) don't exist in those manpages and no amount of ignoring that fact is ever going to make it right. So enough already, fix the selinux related manpages so WE, the users, can fix our own stumbles. It really, really is that simple. As for your comment re the src, I turned on a few fedora src links in my yum.repos.d and never did find the srcs for selinux. Just one of the many reasons I came to the conclusion that I shouldn't be running something that is to me, just another frustration creating hassle. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
