Hello, can anyone kindly point me in the right direction in setting up 
dictd-server. I am experienced with Linux but new to Fedora and SELinux.

I have installed the package:
    dnf install dictd-service

Went through the docs:
    /usr/share/doc/dictd-server/INSTALL

Added a dictd config file:
   /etc/dictd.conf

Now, I'm a bit confused. There are several example config files in the doc 
directory, plus a folder of SELinux examples. I haven't allowed access in the 
dictd.conf file since I'm only going to run on a local machine.

When I attempt to start with systemctl:
    /bin/systemctl status dictd.service

I get the following error:

● dictd.service - Dictd Dictionary Server Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dictd.service; disabled; vendor 
preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2016-12-09 00:09:12 EST; 41s ago

failed state.
Dec 09 00:09:12 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: dictd.service: Failed with 
result 'exit-code'.

I looked through the internet for references, but I guess installing 
dictd-server on Fedora 25 is not a popular thing to do. Thanks!
