Installing into /opt of a recent rawhide showed no problems. Even if it
was a problem it would have been a _very_ easy fix either in the policy
package or the directory server packages.
Try RHEL4. I know Dan Walsh did a lot of work to write SELinux policies
for DS in FC5 or 6, which are also in rawhide.

I think that we need to work to resolve any issues and remove that
suggestion. At the very least it needs to specify specific OS and
directory server releases.
Definitely.
That blanket statement is very harmful and unnecessary.
I'll be happy to help you resolve any issues - just give me the specific
problems that you are seeing.
