Now why doesn't that fine piece of government work, selinux, do something standard and useful like log when it's instituting breakage?? I get that it's doing it "for your own good," but what good is it if it doesn't tell you what it's doing? The _first place_ I looked when we ran into this problem was the logs. Nada. Zilch. Programs that try to be smarter than the root user are annoying enough. Programs that do that and don't try to educate the root user while they're doing it are worse. There are standards for logging. Selinux is ignoring them. If it's going to be breaking stuff by default, and failing to log the breakage by default, that's not remotely good. Yet that's how CentOS installs it. Are we downstream of some Redhat brilliance here? Pardon my English, Whit
