At this stage we are not trying to test the selinux policy through these scripts. Maybe we can do that soon: I don't think it would be very hard to do. If you enable selinux, then you abide by its restrictions. If you really don't like the default policy (which sensibly doesn't let you run tests like these in /tmp) you change it ('semanage fcontext' on the top-level testing dir). Alasdair
