SELinux gui tab with no options

Post by bennetttm » 2007/06/04 19:00:27

I've installed CentOS 5 on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 (2 3Ghz processors and 8GB ram) which previously had Fedora 6. Most everything is similar except when I click on the SE Linux tab in the Security Level gui there is nothing under the tab except to choose enable, permissive, or disable, no text or anything for exceptions. In the Fedora 6 version there is text to click on to open the list of options to enable/disable/ or override.

I found this thinking there was an option in SE Linux to allow me to start httpd from the command line with sudo or as root. I could run /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop and the http server will stop. But /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start would fail. After a reboot starting from the command line worked. But because I am using Apache as a frontend proxy with Virtual Hosts I need to allow httpd to connect to the network.

Thanks for any help. :-o
