 allows customization of these booleans and tunables.
 
+.br
+Many domains that are protected by SELinux also include selinux man pages explainging how to customize their policy.  
+
+.SH FILE LABELING
+
+All files, directories, devices ... have a security context/label associated with them.  These context are stored in the extended attributes of the file system.
+Problems with SELinux often arise from the file system being mislabeled. This can be caused by booting the machine with a non selinux kernel.  If you see an error message containing file_t, that is usually a good indicator that you have a serious problem with file system labeling.  
+.br 
+The best way to relabel the file system is to create the flag file /.autorelabel and reboot.  system-config-securitylevel, also has this capability.  The restorcon/fixfiles commands are also available for relabeling files.
