Hi, The dmesg command just prints the last few lines of kernel messages. The selinux thing will cause the kernel to print those messages you saw. /var/log/dmesg is not constantly updated - it is just created at boot to preserve the latest kernel messages at that time. Things are behaving as I would expect. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040319 Galeon/1.3.14 Description of problem: I have recently installed FC2 Test3, and for some reason I get a *LOT* of warnings when installing any RPMS, including those in the yum repository. This would not be much of a concern, because the RPMs install fine, except that after these messages are displayed, they somehow replace all of the output from dmesg. As an example, if I reboot, log in, and type 'dmesg', I get the expected information from the kernel about the boot and drivers, etc. After installing an RPM, I no longer can get this information from dmesg. Instead, I am greeted with many lines similar in content to this one: security_context_to_sid: called before initial load_policy on unknown context root:object_r:staff_home_ssh_t Where 'ssh' can take values for just about every package installed on my system. It should be noted that the file /var/log/dmesg still contains the expected information, and does not contain any of the above messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): util-linux-2.12-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot, log in. 2. # dmesg 3. # yum update sudo 4. # dmesg Actual Results: After step 2, above, dmesg prints the contents of /var/log/dmesg. After step 4, above, it does not and instead prints out lines of warnings from the RPM installation as stated in the problem description. Expected Results: The output of dmesg should be consistent with /var/log/dmesg regardless of what RPM has done. Additional info:
