I haven't tried it in enforcing mode, as it is a remote server and it would be inconvenient if I could not communicate with it. It has been suggested to me that the problem has nothing to do with selinux. The reason I thought there was a connection is that the warning only appears in the output of sealert. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
