Thank you! It now works.

The only remaining gotcha was that the old HOWTO that I had made a big 
point of warning you that the first thing you had to install was the 
'login' package - which now doesn't have an selinux version.

So - to summarise (for those reading this in the future - is the archive 
working?); to get SELinux working on Debian/woody:

   * Get the kernel patches (lsm and exec-shield) off Russell Coker's site
   * Get the standard debian 2.4.24 kernel package (from the main debian 
pool) and the debian kernel-patch-acl package
   * To the standard kernel apply the kernel-patch-acl patches (if you 
are doing it by hand that has to be in the order ea, acl, nfsacl)
   * Apply the exec-shield patch
   * apply the lsm patch

Add:


deb http://www.microcomaustralia.com.au/debian unstable selinux main

to your sources.list

and follow the instructions from the *new* selinux howto - that will be 
the one that tells you to mount /selinux and doesn't mention the 'login' 
package.

Note: When installing the packages it is best to do one big apt-get line 
rather than one at a time - doing them individually has a nasty habit of 
removing other packages.

Thanks,

Dave
