[mapserver-users] Getting MapServer to work with SELinux

I've recently set up a Fedora Core 9 system, and its running SELinux. 
I've set up MapServer 5.0.3 but SELinux is blocking it from doing 
anything. However, I can set SELinux to "permissive" mode and it all 
works fine, so the problem is setting permissions or policies or 
whatever for MapServer so SELinux will let it do its thing.

So does anyone know of a step by step reference  detailing how to get 
MapServer to work under SELinux's "enforced" mode? I've Googled for an 
answer but haven't found anything I understand. I like the idea of the 
extra security that SELinux offers, so I'd like to learn how to set up 
MapServer to work with it.
TIA,
- Bill Thoen
