Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-05-31 14:58:04 UTC
The problem is we do not have mcelog policy in RHEL5.  Not sure if mcelog is supposed to be run on an MLS box though.

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2011-11-10 13:01:31 UTC
I think I could add it to make this working. We have it also in Fedora/RHEL6

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-11-10 13:12:58 UTC
ok

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2011-11-29 16:37:29 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-320.el5

Comment 9 Miroslav Grepl 2011-12-22 10:32:47 UTC
These are specific for RHEL5 which we need to add.
