OK, thanks for the explanation of what it is. As you suggest, it's not
installed on my system - or at least there's nothing under /lib
or /usr/lib. I repeated the searches I did earlier using "resmgr" and the
first one turned up empty but the second (yum whatprovides resmgr) has
turned up 2 references to selinux-policy:

selinux-policy.noarch	2.3.9-3	installed 
Matched from:
/usr/share/doc/selinux-policy-2.3.9/html/services_resmgr.html

selinux-policy-devel.noarch	2.3.9-3	development 
Matched from:
/usr/share/selinux/devel/include/services/resmgr.if

Neither one sounds to me like what you're looking for but I'll send you the
files off-list if you'd like...

HTH, Myles
