Stephen:

Thanks for your response.  I need a little more help.  I managed to 
create the local.te file but I can't make/reload/ or load it.  The 
help files I found searching about say I need package selinux-policy-
targeted-sources.  There doesn't seem to be one of those packages for 
F8.  Where do I go from here?

Thanks,
