Hi, We run many Library / web / database applications on RedHat servers with SELinux enabled. Sometimes it takes a bit of investigation and horsing around but I haven't yet found a situation where it had to be disabled. setsebool and chcon can solve most problems and SELinux is an excellent enhancement to standard filesystem and ACL security. -Graham -- Graham Stewart Network and Storage Services Manager, Information Technology Services University of Toronto Library 130 St. George Street Toronto, Ontario [log in to unmask] Canada M5S 1A5 Phone: 416-978-6337 | Mobile: 416-550-2806 | Fax: 416-978-1668 Ken Irwin wrote: > Hi all, > > Thanks for your extensive suggestions and comments.
