Summary: SELinux is preventing ntpd "read write" access on netlink_route_socket. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by ntpd. It is not expected that this access is required by ntpd 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

This is ridiculous; this is the first boot after installation of Fedora14-x86_64. Can we not get the bugs to not pop up in a user's face so quickly? All I did was select network-based time and used the default ntp servers. Irrelevant system details: VirtualBox 4.0.4 on MacOSX 10.6.7 (SnowLeopard) on a Mac Pro (MacPro4,1) with two Quad-Core Intel Xeons at 2.66 Ghz, 16GB of ram. Virtual machine has 8GB of ram, 8GB of disk space.
It has been fixed. This was a leaked file descriptor in the tool that did the initial ntpd setup. Sadly we don't reship and rebundle the installer.
