I have successfully set it up and practise using it, and use the list to improve my knowledge. I have to give a huge congratulations to Russell, as watching and learning selinux, would not of been as easy with out his input into the list, and also his selinux box on the web/website dedicated to the growth of selinux. Since I have been a quiet member of the list, and also not for a long time either, I felt that I have to say a thankyou. Keep up the good work.
