Russ made a point some time back that it may be a bad idea for it to have the .pl extension as it might someday be rewritten in C or whatever. Not that it necessarily will, but it is generally a bad idea to put extensions on "binaries" that should end up in /sbin or /usr/sbin/. Which also brings up the point, what is the most appropriate place for it to install? Would it be wise for it to be useable during early boot, thus in /sbin, or just later in /usr/sbin? Or should it be considered a user tool and be in /bin or /sbin? I'd personally tend to /usr/sbin since autogen of rule fixes during boot is not in general a good idea... -- ------------------------------------------------------ IN MY NAME: Dale Amon, CEO/MD No Mushroom clouds over Islandone Society London and New York. www.islandone.org ------------------------------------------------------ -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
