There was even a fedora class room on selinux, which I did not attend because of work. I resent that many places, the best solution offered to setup services is to turn down selinux. I think is something that technical people should try to explain better to the rest of us. Some day we shoul start looking for those places where thre ae commands for turning off selinux and comment on alternatives. I found myself battling among selinux and automatic bug reporting tool after installing F12. I finally gave up and choose to unistall the bug tool from family computers, and turned off selinux on my computer.
