Ah, ok. I was wondering why you thought that, and then I
realized I forgot to include a public-inbox-watch.service
example for systemd.  Anyways I run -watch via systemd,
but screen works, too.  Will add an example -watch.service
file in a separate patch.

Fair enough.  There was a comment or two in the .te file which
should've been wrapped, at least.

Odd that they assume innd is the only 119 user, but they use
"http" instead of "apache" for 80.  Oh well, I suppose there
could be a comment clarifying we mean NNTP to not confuse people
into thinking we depend on innd.

Sure thing, thanks.
