I did, I was, my boxes both at home and at work are locked down via the 
firewall its simple enough just deny everything accept from specific IP's 
however I accept that there is a possibility of a script opening something up 
thats where monitoring the logs comes in.

However I bow to general opinion maybe SELinux has a place just not for me. :)

PRACTICE! its got bollocks all to do with practice! I still haven't got Covide 
working I've had 12 attempts 8 of which have been fresh installs I'm at the 
stage that I can install Debian and install the App with my eyes shut will it 
run? will it bollocks.

Install php5-pgsql? I'd F'ing love too except theres no installable version 
for Debian theres only one repo .dotdeb that has php5-pear php5-tidy the 
whole thing is a mess. I've emailed the developers did I get  a reply? did I 
bollocks they have the cheek to be seeking partners to sell it and apparently 
partners get full cooperation I'm not going to partner anything until I've 
tested it.

Contrary to my usual self demeaning statements I do have a modicum of skill 
but as I've said time and time again I get no fun out of sitting on Google 
for four hours trying to make something work, 20 minutes installing and 
setting up is more than enough for me I'm interested in using it not pissing 
around with it.
