9 This is correct, and I've made the change in the cvs policy. Little
10 bugs like this pop up from time to time because the NSA example policy
11 is a conglomeration of stuff from Red Hat and Debian policies, all in
12 one big jumble. So file locations can be incorrect sometimes. I do a
13 lot of testing of the policy to try to catch them, but they can still
14 get by.
