Description Daya Shanker Prasad 2010-02-17 03:35:30 UTC
Summary:

SELinux prevented kde4-config from writing .kde.

Detailed Description:

SELinux prevented kde4-config from writing .kde. If .kde is a core file, you may
want to allow this. If .kde is not a core file, this could signal a intrusion
attempt.

Allowing Access:

Changing the "allow_daemons_dump_core" boolean to true will allow this access:
"setsebool -P allow_daemons_dump_core=1."

Fix Command:

setsebool -P allow_daemons_dump_core=1
