Other than that addition above, the list seems complete to me. I reviewed and lightly edited/reformatted that page, the work is good. Oh, is it worth mentioning or even just linking to SELinux documentation? Using su to switch users does not necessarily change the user's role, does it? Do you think it is worth covering permission escalation, e.g., su and sudo? There is content about sudo that we can pull as-is with updates into this guide. It is unpublished AFAICT, but the source is in CVS: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/lxr/docs/source/sudo-tutorial/ http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/lxr/docs/source/sudo-tutorial/en_US/sudo-tutorial.xml You can grab the module, which may not build as-is, by doing this: cd /path/to/local/CVS/sandbox export CVSROOT=:ext:<username>@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/docs cvs -z3 co docs-common sudo-tutorial I just tested, and this works: cd sudo-tutorial make html-en_US You can then copy/paste from the HTML into the Docs/Drafts/... Unless this belongs in someone else's module. :) In that case, they should use this content. :) :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
