I am educating my college student IT department on Linux with the future hopes of bringing Linux instruction to the classroom. There is a serious need to balance out the excessive Microsoft education. I have been given a server and run CentOS with SELinux enforcing. The server is being used for the Cisco classes which require tftp. I must have SELinux or I might lose the server to all the Microsoft cheerleaders who are eager to be the first to kill a Linux server. And they do try (and fail). Fortunately these Microsoft students do not understand what they think they know. This is a good thread Kristen -- Are you who you say you are? http://www.atmyhome.org/what-is-gpg-pgp.html -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
