I unplugged the card, unplugged the reader, then logged out. Plugged back the reader, logged in (so I'm logged in after the reader was connected). Plugged the card back in. Same error.
If you're running SELinux in enforcing mode, please close as dupe of bug 230155 If you're not logging in via gdm, please close as dupe of bug 228110 Thanks.
SELinux is enforcing and I'm using gdm. But I'm doing "tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log" and there are no messages when the error occurs. Is it still a SELinux problem? If it is, what can I do to enable this functionality (other than switching from enforcing mode which I do not want to do)?

I'm not sure why SELinux is logging errors - that's also a problem in 230155...
Thanks, I'll watch the other bug then.
Moving to 'devel' as discussed on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00095.html.
