Hi lists

it seems the rpmforge nagios package does not work out of the box if
selinux is turned on. A log from someone complaining about it (the
nagios cgis) not working:

I would like to make proper rules for this rpm but i have absolutely no clue about selinux and policies. Any hints what to read, where to start?

Chris
