Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Does this mean the strict policy will not work on a Fedora Core system at all or that it will take some customization prior to working effectively? Also, are there plans to support te domains for either Sendmail or Postfix via the SELinux policy in the near future? What about PostgreSQL/MySQL?

Yes strict policy will work on Fedora Core. And we are working to make transitioning from one policy to the other easier. system-config-securitylevel allows you to transition from one to the other by building a relabel into the startup scripts.

We would like to add ftp and a mail agent to targeted policy eventually. We would like to get vsftpd to work like login in that after the users logs in a new process gets execed under the users context or Anonymous FTP context. The problem with mail agents is that alot of them want to touch the users home directories, and as soon as they do we get into labeling problems around the users home directory which we are trying to avoid in targeted policy.
