Since nobody has come up with a policy for eons I guess there is little 
incentive to provide one. When you go through the OTRS website it 
basically only says "turn off selinux" (which imho is pretty silly).

There was one person that tried to create a policy:
http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/dev/2005-September/001109.html

The #selinux channel on irc.freenode.net has always been helpful and 
patient even with my n00b questions. If you have all the info from the 
audit log then I would venture in there, put the audit log on a pastebin 
and ask how to proceed next.

If you create a proper policy I would appreciate it if you could keep 
this list updated. From what I have read OTRS seems a nice solution but 
not when I have to turn off selinux.

Regards,
Patrick
