selinux
 

hello

i want to send mails from http , but i can't because of selinux.
i want to change http_can_network_connect to 1 , i used setsebool http_can_network_connect 1, but it did not wrok and with "vi" also impossible, how can i change it definitly

You could just disable selinux ?

Did you use the -P switch to persist across reboots?
http://linux.die.net/man/8/setsebool

thanx i dont want to disable selinux, and also setsebool is it permanent?

yesd its persistent across reboots, also to get the boolean you can use getsebool and then grep for samba ot httpd etc

it would be VERY HELPFUL if we knew what operating system you are using ???
if fedora then there is a nice gui tool to configure it

if RHEL / CentOS there are some gui tools

am using FC8

the se gui and settings tool for the dead and unsupported fedora 8 was no good
please install a supported version of fedora
that would be fedora 12

fedora 8 is insecure .
