selinux alert
I can't reproduce it, but my context on /var/log/faillog is -rw------- root root system_u:object_r:faillog_t /var/log/faillog Martin, could you run: #restorecon /var/log/faillog and see if context changed. Just uninstalled it and installed it again, no error message. Don't ask me what was wrong. I am going to reopen this bug if it reappears. There is a knoqn problem on initial installs and upgrades of the faillog file getting the wrong context. This should be fixed on upgrades going forward. restorecon -R -v /var/log should fix the problem. |
