[[Category:SELinux docs]]
 
== Purpose of the documentation ==
 
Provide administrators with a guide that details how to work with and manage confined services in Fedora 11. Documentation will cover:
 
* brief introduction to SELinux.
* performing system administration tasks without turning SELinux off.
* troubleshoot issues (include Red Hat Bugzilla and permissive domains).
* allow administrators to manage SELinux without employing someone else to do so.
 
== Audience ==
 
System administrators.
 
 
== Audience goals ==
 
Perform system administration tasks without turning SELinux off:
 
* share files via Samba, FTP, NFS, and HTTP.
* share files between multiple services.
* manage BIND (for example, accept zone updates).
* label files so that services can access them (semanage fcontext).
* customize the ports services listen on (semanage port -a).
* use non-default directories to store files for services.
