Description tan_shiruban 2009-11-26 15:19:08 UTC
Résumé:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/kdm "write" access on /root.

Description détaillée:

SELinux denied access requested by kdm. It is not expected that this access is
required by kdm 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.

Autoriser l'accès:

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.

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2009-11-27 14:36:36 UTC
Are you trying to login as root?

Comment 2 Simon Lewis 2009-12-02 19:24:29 UTC
I sometimes have to log in as root to have the full functionality in konqueror when used as a file manager.

There is no d-bus support in konqueror when started using "kdesu konqueror" from a standard user account...

Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2009-12-04 11:52:36 UTC
It is not a good idea to login as root via X Windows,  this is not supported in
SELinux.
