When RedHat compiled XFree86 3.3, they didn't bother to update their
spec file to include all the new toys (improved X security,
improved printer support, Broadway Netscape plugins, etc.).  One of the
files that's consequently not included is the SecurityPolicy you
mention.  Just ignore the error....

I complained to RedHat about this a couple of months ago.  They still
haven't done anything about it.  If you have the free disk space, you
can download XFree86 and compile it yourself....

later,
chris
