Comment 1 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2004-02-17 02:49:44 UTC

Also applies to ssh logins

There seems to be a new piece of system-config-users that is not yet
fully ties into the process.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2004-02-17 14:10:35 UTC

Do you want to run with SELinux?  If not remove policy and
policy-sources from your machine,  login should work again.  Otherwise
you could add selinux=0 to your kernel line in grub.

If yes, you need to relabel the file system, this will happen at
install time in test2.  But for now you need to

cd /etc/security/selinux/src/policy
make load
make relabel
reboot

Comment 3 Len Budney 2004-02-26 19:51:03 UTC

Doing "make relabel" hangs while setfiles is attempting to relabel
/SWAP. If you do "swapoff -a" first, it works fine.

Comment 4 Erich Hoover 2004-02-29 20:36:44 UTC

I get the following errors when attempting to follow the directions above:

/usr/sbin/setfiles file_contexts/file_contexts `mount | awk
'/(ext[23]| xfs).*rw/{print $3}'`
/usr/sbin/setfiles:  read 1205 specifications

New policy-1.6-16 fixes this problem
