Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/xauth "unlink" access on .xauthBy6t6d. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by xauth. It is not expected that this access is required by xauth and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

I'm getting this together with preventing: getattr, read, write Usualy I get this after doing 'su -' in Konsole.
Tomas, I think this is related to to the patch I sent you. Maybe it is only happening in kde environments.

I get this and several other errors when I use 'su -' in GNOME's Terminal as well.
