Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2014-08-27 16:07:18 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 21-alpha by Fedora user sgallagh using the blocker tracking app because:

 "Unless explicitly specified otherwise, after system installation the Cockpit web management interface must be running and accessible on its default port (XX)."
Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2014-08-27 16:42:29 UTC 
Discussed at 2014-08-27 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2014-08-27/f21-blocker-review.2014-08-27-15.59.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker per criterion cited in c#1, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Cockpit_management_interface .
Comment 3 Patrick Uiterwijk 2014-08-27 16:58:17 UTC 
The problem here is that the SELinux policy with the port change landed earlier than the Cockpit release with the new port.

This is fixed in cockpit 0.21, which is in the Fedora 21 repos, so should appear in a new compose.
Comment 4 Patrick Uiterwijk 2014-08-27 16:59:57 UTC 
And a note: the new listening port for Cockpit, which is supposed to be permanent, is port 9090/tcp (websm).
