SELinux policies are centrally managed. So filing it against SELinux policy
package is better. Reassigning.

Can you post the AVC denied messages from /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit
(if you are running the audit deamon)?

Thanks.

Comment 2 Trond Danielsen 2006-03-28 05:48:16 EST

Sorry, no msg in neither /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2006-03-28 08:19:41 EST

Are you sure this is an SELinux problem?

If you run setenforce 0, does the command succeed?


If it does, could you load the following policy and then try the command with
setenforce 0

semodule -b /usr/share/selinux/targeted/enableaudit.pp

setenforce 0
run your command
semodule -b /usr/share/selinux/targeted/base.pp

to turn off additional audit messages.

I think the bug can be closed, it is working now. I think the problem was that I
was using epiphany as the default browser at the time. I have tested with both
firefox and epiphany, and everything works now.
