What does this mean?  Is httpd a vulnerability on this machine?

This means that httpd is not confined by the SELinux policy.  This means
you have less protection against a compromise or misconfiguration of
httpd or CGI scripts.

Since the default is for it to be enabled, someone (possibly you)
disabled SELinux protection for httpd; you can reenable it by using
system-config-securitylevel (or
"setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans=false").

Strange, on one computer httpd runs with:

root:system_r:httpd_t           11845 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
but if I do setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans 0 on an other computer I get

[root@flashdance ny]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
                                                           [FAILED]
On both computers the selinux perms are:

[iocc@flashdance texts]$ ll -Z /lib/libpcre.so.0*
lrwxrwxrwx root system_u:object_r:lib_t /lib/libpcre.so.0 -> libpcre.so.0.0.1
-rwxr-xr-x  root     system_u:object_r:shlib_t        /lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1

Im not sure that I get that :)

Just to get it working I did this on the other computer:

[root@flashdance ny]# setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans 1
[root@flashdance ny]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [FAILED]
Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]

Why doesnt httpd_disable_trans 0 work with apache on one computer?
