Dear Daniel and all,

I am trying to enable upload for all my virtual hosts placed in /var/www .

The goal is to allow users upload their content via ftp/sftp/scp .

First I tried vsftpd as a basis for upload, but got problem:
httpd_sys_content_t is needed by apache and user_home_t is needed by
chrooted vsftpd access. Togeter httpd_sys_content_t and user_home_t
probably might be combined by editing SELinux targeted polices, but
i'd better deny to do it myself.

Then I tried scp. The similar problem appeared.

Q: What is the Right Way to organize upload of web content to the
virtual hosts with enabled SELinux?

here I imply that ideology of FC4 and SELinux targeted policy should
probably allow private user to host few virtual hosts with upload
function, but without diving in jungle of policy develoment :-)

Any good links and hints are highly appreciated!

P.S. Please Cc to me, and sorry if missed something in maillist.
