Choosing A Webhost:

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...

Adding these booleans

And turning this feature off by default. This is going into tonights
reference policy and into FC4 test release.
Do you mean FC4 or FC5? This should not go in an FC4 update
off-by-default since it will break working setups. Make it
on-by-default if you want to ship this to FC4 users and off-by-default
with a big release note for FC5.
What's the difference between httpd_can_network_relay and
httpd_can_network_connect?
Do we still have the problem that httpd cannot reap idle children
properly when the latter is set? That really really does need to work
by default.

I'd like to completely agree with Joe. I'm beginning to have quite a lot
invested in httpd, PHP and related database code and I don't want
SELinux breaking what is there without a lot of warning. For new
installs of FC4, I've been forced to turn off SELinux support for these
applications. They simply don't work otherwise.
