Many thanks to you all on this subject. The Fedora SELinux User Guide suggested by Tristan: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Security-Enhanced_Linux/index.html was particularly useful, wish I had found that a week earlier. Coverage of the policy language at: http://selinuxproject.org/page/PolicyLanguage Was useful. And the suggestions for applying the telnetd_exec_t type to my executable took me forward. I then ran into other problems, like write access to files. It seems to me at this time that I need to set up profiles for the whole of our comms product which looks like being a project for the next release unfortunately. Once again, thanks for your assistance. Dave.
