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...

Hi!

having problems with selinux for sylog and portmapper. Also cannot change password with selinux enable.
it is running in targeted mode.
I have been checking with nsa-selinux forum, and some of the ppl recommend that i ask this forum.

You need to relabel you file system. I would update to the latest policy and relabel your
file system

yum upgrade selinux-policy-targeted
touch /.autorelabel
reboot

Got FC3 running SELINUX in enforcing mode.

1. however when i try to change my password, i get the ffg error:
SystemError: couldn't get security context of `/etc/passwd': No data
available
2. also, when i boot up, syslogd, and portmap cannot start, so i disabled it in SELinux. i would like to get this to work, though.

i am running kernel Linux shiva 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp

The most likely scenario is that you never labeled your filesystems, or
that you ran with SELinux disabled for some period of time and thus
ended up with some files without security labels.  Touch /.autorelabel
and reboot, or run /sbin/fixfiles relabel and reboot.  BTW, this kind of
question belongs on fedora-selinux-list, not here, IMHO.
