[wplug] Samba Help - RESOLVED

[Brian A. Seklecki]

SELinux is a hopeless attempt to fix 10,000 broken releng processes.

A textbook case study in how technical solutions cannot solve people
problems.  Consider what you're suggesting: Providing Windows services
on GNU/Linux, securely?  It's a contradiction.

Just edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and get on with it :)
