module into the setup. However given that we're dealing with "Standard function" of AWStats it would be nice to wrap it in conditional and throw in base policy.
Which really raises a question: should base policies (and modules) cover all aspects of "normal"/"legitimate" functionality of applications "out-of-the- box" or shall we expect it to cover only a subset? Is it SELinux's group role to suggest "insecure" practices that will not be covered by policies and probably should be discouraged irregardless of SELinux state (on or off)?
In my view ideally it should be transparent but in practice SELinux is also used to block "functionality" sometimes
A boolean for the above should be fine in my view
