Q: I want to run a daemon on a non standard port but SELinux will not allow me. How do get this to work?

A: You can use the semanage command to define additional ports. So say you want httpd to be able to listen on port 8082. You could enter the command.

semanage port -a -p tcp -t http_port_t 8082

For example, if I have a package named:

netatalk-1.6.1-2rh7.i386.rpm

and an rpm of sources for this rpm:

netatalk-1.6.1-2rh7.src.rpm (or .srpm)

then, the command should be:

rpmbuild –rebuild netatalk-1.6.1-2rh7.src.rpm

then install the rpm in commond rpm path
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
