At Manchester, the pubmed2ensembl56.smith.man.ac.uk server runs BioMart 0.7 under SELinux and as far as I remember, I only had to create some custom modules to allow for outgoing connections in order to query NCBI's eutils. You can create SELinux policy modules as described here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux#head-faa96b3fdd922004cdb988c1989e56191c257c01 If you get in touch with Casey in Manchester, then he should be able to direct you to his internal wiki where I have described the workflow to create custom policy modules step-by-step. If you are using BioMart 0.8, then you also should be able to create the SELinux policy modules as described above. You might have to iterate the process up to 5 times before you have created enough policies that allow the server to function correctly. Unfortunately, this process cannot be optimised, because each time you grant the server a bit more rights, it will proceed a tad further before running into another violation. Policy creation has to be done iteratively. Joachim
