From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/8.02 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Description of problem: Upon installation of Fedora Core 4, a problem I previously had with FC3 has grown much worse. Formerly, ntpd would not run. Now, many services do not run, including (at least) nifd, networks, etc. and many others. A work around has been found in setting SELinux policy to "permissive" rather than "enforced." When "enforced" is used, the FC4 installation is basically unusuable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set SELinux policy to "enforced". 2. Reboot Additional info: When policy is "enforced" the boot up text screen shows many services that report FAILED on start up. Generally, the error message reveals file permissions are denied, such as to file 'libc.so.6' or other shared object files. The screen scrolls by much too fast to read it in detail. If there was a means to pipe this text scroll to a log file, I'd like to do so and submit it as an addendum to this bug report. (Anybody want to help me learn how to do this?)
Are you running with selinux-policy-strict? What are you seeing for avc messages in /var/log/audit/audit.log or /var/log/messages? You try to relabel the system with the following command touch /.autorelabel reboot
