Ok, I guess I will have to fix this, and propose that we turn it on by default
in Fedora 18.


Maybe if deny_ptrace remains turn on by default already from F17 is good, i think. Because of two reasons primarily:

- Many "Fedora normal users" still don't know because SELinux is important, you image  if someone be worried how to turn on a its boolean.
- Although someone is  interested to it, will think that it is not as important if disabled on default.

Also:

- If this feature is turned off by default, less feedbacks will come back from comunity.

In any case i will advice  to active it if necessary.

My two cents. :)
Regards.
