Setting up a forum for SeLinux

Seems to me that alot of us out here are like fish flopping on the beach when it come to SeLinux. I think it would be helpful if the management was to start a forum for SeLinux and possibly get some one to write a How To every so often on different portions of where SeLinux is involved. I know it covers a broad spectrum but have my hands full just learning the other things, a web server, at the moment. So I usually end up disabling SeLinux when I run into trouble with it

there is the "security" forum, but i do agree that selinux could have a forum all its own. trouble is, often the solution to the problem is altering selinux settings, but the user asking the question doesn't know that when s/he asks the question so they may not post the the selinux forum anyway.

I agree with amessina. A lot of times people have a problem with SElinux, and think it is a program or its setup.
But then, the opposit is true. Some people blame SElinux when it is their own settings.

I know of these but, it still seems that a forum where we could talk things out helps more than just reading. I do alot of reading and get alot from it but, somethings I have to hear from other people to get the right perspective.

The problem is, that making a new selinux forum won't get any expert of this very specifical area to the board. And the SeLinux questions feel very comfortable in the existing forums. The problems of to many forums, is that you will never find anything...
The howot is a very good idea, would be very much apreciated, but as I said above I don't know of any specialists, on board, who would do it.
And you are very welcome to ask your SELinux questions in the security forum,

Do read the selinux related docs first.

Actually, I locked it, you reopened it, I locked it again, then wondered if I'd locked it, reopened it to check and then locked it again. TA DA!

Jeezzz... I wonder if I should open it again, so Wayne can lock it again instead of Bob.... But of course Bob would think he didn't close it and can re-open it again wich leaves Wayne Closing the thread as originally planned...

That May work...
