From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 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. Additional info:
The FC3 version of the SELinux FAQ are no longer maintained I am closing this ancient bug.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/
