fc5 and policy.conf ?


The system is fc5 with selinux.

Many of the selinux howto's reference a file: policy.conf. The redhat distribution does not appear to have that file. Has it been replaced? What is the fc5 equilivant - in any? Or is the load of this system somehow missing the file?

Thanks - Dan

i'm not too familiar with selinux (install, click turn off selinux, click next) but the config all gets spread out inside /etc/selinux rather than using a single file. as there are different policies for different purposes and the framework as a whole is rapidly expanding, one file can't last forever.

Thanks,

The policy.conf file is apparently an intermediate file produced as part of the policy compliation process. Now the question becomes: where are the policy sources? This is a Fedora distro.

Thanks - Dan
