Description Richard Fearn 2010-12-30 11:28:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

When setsebool isn't run as root, it complains that it can't set a boolean without a managed policy. The real problem is that it's not running as root. As expected, it works when it's run using sudo.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

policycoreutils-2.0.83-33.5.fc14.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run setsebool, but not as root
  
Actual results:

[rich@e6500 ~]$ setsebool -P httpd_enable_homedirs 1
Cannot set persistent booleans without managed policy.
Could not change policy booleans

Expected results:

Should warn that it's not running as root. The current message gives the impression that there's no policy, which there is.
