{bb} SELinux and Big Brother

[Stephen Walton <stephen.walton@csun.edu>]

I just got Big Brother working on Fedora Core 4 with SELinux enabled.  
The key steps:

1.  With SELinux turned on, apache adamantly refuses to follow symbolic 
links, even if FollowSymLinks is set in httpd.conf. (Is this a bug?) The 
only workaround I've been able to find is a bind mount:

# mkdir /var/www/html/bb
# mount -o bind /home/bb/bb/www /var/www/html/bb

2.  Change the context:

# chcon -R -h -t httpd_user_content_t /home/bb/bb/www

3. Change the two 'mv' commands in bb-display.sh to 'cp' commands so 
that the contexts get preserved when the page is regenerated.

Of course in the above I'm assuming DocumentRoot in apache is set to 
/var/www/html and that your Big Brother server files are in 
/home/bb/bb.  Change as appropriate for your setup.
