No plans to change that > AFAIK. But I'm not sure what you mean by the latter statement. While selinux is probably important for big systems, I don't think it offers much for a home user like myself. It's possible, I suppose, that someone might get through my firewall (shorewall) but it doesn't seem very likely, as I don't run any services visible from outside. On the other hand, when I very gently tested the water with selinux it had a number of unforeseen consequences, and it was clear that I would have to study the matter if I were to run the selinux service. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
