On FC4, apachectl start leaves it running in unconfined_t. In FC3,
since the system starts in unconfined_t (so both rc scripts and user
shells are in the same domain), there is no distinction, so you wouldn't
see a difference there.
OK - can that be changed? I'd really much rather that apachectl, the
init script, and direct invocation of /usr/sbin/httpd all had the same
behaviour, as has been (mostly) the case forever.
