I guess I do, not sure how to tell but when I do locate "setroubleshoot" it produces a long list of files. I haven't had any selinux error messages since installing F-11.
My problems appear to occur when I transfer files via sftp. That changed the owner to root. I created a new directory as user "bobg" and moved the files to it, then removed the original directory and recreated it as bobg and put the files back in and things work normally. I imagine all that really needs to be done is to change the owner, the permissions were ok.
Things are working and I know how to cause the problem, another case of knowing what doesn't work. I'm sure it is the result of doing something wrong with sftp. That will take some more investigation I've transferred a lot of iles that way without a problem?
