Fedora Project
Today I built an updated version of mod_fcgid (Rawhide, Fedora 9, Fedora 8) that has a new SELinux policy. Instead of using its own httpd_fastcgi_* domain and types, the policy is merged with the regular CGI policy (httpd_sys_* types). The types from the old policy are now aliased to the new types to hopefully provide a smooth upgrade path. This change in approach came out of discussions with Dan Walsh about how best to merge the policy module into the main selinux-policy package, which will happen real soon now. Today's update (to mod_fcgid-2.2-6) should also resolve Bug #462318, where Fedora 8 systems with mod_fcgid-selinux installed get (harmless) messages about multiple different specifications for the context type of the /var/run/mod_fcgid directory and its contents.
Local Packages
Updated mod_fcgid as per the Fedora package
