SELinux policies for Nagios on RHEL 4

[Joseph Filla]

Thanks for your reply,

Does anyone know if the SELinux policies are transferable from Fedora  
to RHEL? I can run Audit2allow and try to configure my first policy,  
but I was wondering if someone has already cracked this nut. I  
donwanna redo the wheel if possible.
