Description Joe Cooper 2005-02-14 23:09:01 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)

Description of problem:
The Fedora Core 3 SELinux FAQ references /etc/sysconfig/selinux twice:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/index.html#id2825945
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/index.html#id2825945

It should refer to /etc/selinux/config.

Also worth noting, though unrelated to documentation,
/etc/sysconfig/selinux exists on a fresh FC3 installation, but has no
effect on configuration, and doesn't belong to any package.  This is a
bug in the installer or one of the packages, but my bug report on the
issue has been closed as NOTABUG.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read the FAQ entries mentioned.
2. Follow the advice offered.
3. Be confused when SELinux configuration doesn't change.
    

Actual Results:  /etc/sysconfig/selinux has no impact on SELinux
configuration, despite the FAQs occasional assertion that it does.

Expected Results:  /etc/selinux/config should be consistently used in
the FAQ.

The FC3 version of the SELinux FAQ are no longer maintained
I am closing this ancient bug.

FYI
The is an FC5 FAQ http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq/
and a list of proposed updates in the wiki at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/FAQ/ProposedAdditions

Additional FAQ work will likely remain in the wiki but there is also
a F10 SELinux Users Guide http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-user-guide/
