Let me explain Dan's request so you can see it in context. One of the
features of setroubleshoot is its ability to scan a log file and analyze
AVC denials. You can already do this in the GUI. But for folks who don't
have setroubleshoot installed the idea was folks could go to a web page
and upload the log file and have the CGI script perform the analysis and
display the results. The request you cite was for CGI support for this.
I believe the CGI is already written, it just needs "a place to live".

BTW, log file analysis is a compromise because the analysis parts of the
tool cannot interrogate the system for information not in the log, this
may result in a less thorough analysis.

BTW, I realized after sending my earlier reply it contained a number of
typos and I didn't proofread it, my apologies if it made it hard to
read.
