Then it might be that you don't have it enabled, it has to be explicitly
done in FC2 whereas in FC3 it's the default.

So would I have thought until I first tried CVSweb on SELinux-enabled
FC3.  The error message was exactly the same, the OS prevents Perl from
accessing that dir altogether, so it thinks the dir doesn't exist.  Very
confusing until one happens to peek into /var/log/messages.

Ok.  Please keep the CVSweb mailing list Cc'd in these discussions.
Others might be able to help too, or might be looking for a solution to
the same problem.
