SELinux isn't a firewall technology. SELinux is a permission-based technology that hooks into various operations to check the rights of the caller versus the required rights of the resource. So if you (as a user) cannot do localhost (127.0.0.1) connections, for instance, then your browser cannot see local files. I do not know enough about SELinux to suggest what permissions to set. I usually just become root and do: echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/randomize-va-space The first one turns off SELinux, as far as I understand it. The second one turns off random library load points. These changes do not survive a reboot. Tim
