$ su - Password: su: warning: cannot change directory to /root: Permission denied su: warning: cannot change directory to /root: Permission denied cd works after this. It also happens with su from root to regular user.
I am also having this problem. I'm not sure if this is related, but after using `su -` I can't load any graphical programs (just get "Can't connect to X server 0:0" etc).
Yes, same for me. The fix is to run 'xhost +' with the original logged in user. (it used to work without it on FC4). I'm not sure this is a bug or feature. Tim, perhaps you could confirm please?
No, the fix is 'restorecon -v /root'. So why is /root getting the wrong security context? Reassigning to filesystem.
Context isn't set in the package. Moving to anaconda, cc'ing policy people.
Dan -- did you track anything down here?
