selinux is definitely still a work-in-progress. I think eventually it
will be a great security tool, but right now it's a real PITA to work
with --- they're a long way from having all the rough edges filed down,
in terms of writing a policy that will allow standard daemons to do
what they've traditionally done. I have to take some of the blame here,
because I should have done more testing while FC3 was still internal to
Red Hat. I did not realize how invasive selinux really is :-(
