Issue #1560

Docs missing on selinux requirements to import from file:/// path
Description
A user recently tried to import content from an area of the file system outside of /tmp and /var/lib/pulp/. Because of its location in the filesystem, it received an selinux label that Pulp workers were denied read access from.
I propose a docs note be added indicating that the httpd_sys_r_content_t or pulp_tmp_t would be good choices of selinux labels. Note: if you choose httpd_sys_r_content_t then the webserver can also read the files so that may or may not be good. I propose we present both options to the user.
We should not document how to apply the label but which label is suggested to use.

Just wanted to bump this issue since a user ran into this problem and I wanted to point him to some docs about how to configure selinux to allow syncs from local file repos.
