Description Jan St. 2005-09-25 23:40:56 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Fedora/1.0.6-1.2.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
up2date won't start anymore if i launch it as a user. After entering roots password, just nothing happens. The outputs on the console is:

"Konnte exec-Kontext nicht auf root:sysadm_r:rpm_t setzen. "
which means that the context of the exec-command could not be set to root:sysadm_r:rpm_t.

If I instead first do a su -l root; and then up2date, everything works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4.23-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.log in with an unprivileged user account
2.start up2date via console or klick on the rhn-applet -> "start up2date" ("up2date starten")
3.nothing happens, if started from the console the output reads: "Konnte exec-Kontext nicht auf root:sysadm_r:rpm_t setzen."
  

Actual Results:  Nothing :D

Expected Results:  up2date should have started fetching the channel list and so on...

Additional info:

Seems very similar, but allready RESOLVED.
