Selinux

[rsuriakumar]

I am still confused with implementing selinux.
I was not able to log in in gnome otherthan as root.

I reinstalled with the new boot.iso from the development tree through http install. the new FC2 1.91 got installed without any problem.
i am able to log in with all the user id in gnome.
i installed k3b. k3b shows the cdwriter only in root login. other login it says enable the permission for k3b to automatically detect the writer. i am not able to manually add /dev/hdc in the configure option.

help me please

So you can now login other than root? Look for k3bsetup also. If you can't log in a root, check you /home/blah/.xsesson-errors file.

Moved to Fedora Core 2 Test Release Forum.

[rsuriakumar]

yes ..
i checked up k3b setup.
the permisson was 660 root.disk. when i clicked apply it got changed autometically to 666 root.disk.

now k3b is working fine.

oh ! what a prompt reply in this fedora forum. i feel i have done a good decision to switch over to fedora.

thank you very much

as a normal user when i reboot the machine it says unknown user and hangs. i have to press ctl+alt+backspace and select reboot.
is it because of selinux.. where to set the user privileges

[Finalzone]

I tested Selinux and as a normal users, selinux prevented to access to my account. Since I have no idea how set up the privilege, I removed it. I will wait for the Test 2 version.

I've not had a good go of it yet. So no help here. I am planning to though.

[rsuriakumar]

i installed david ranch's firewall as service.
when i rebooted the machine permission was denied to start the service. i dont know how to set it right. the learning curve for selinux is steep.
i modified /etc/sysconfig/SELINUX=disabled.
now every thing is working fine including the firewall service except when i do the yum update lot of error messages comming.

May be i have to wait for the final releae of FC2 or some one gives me a idea how to configure selinux.

[rsuriakumar]

after updating to policy 1.9.1 i am not able to log in to gnome. it says the home directory is not available even for the root

i wish it will be nice if you provide redhat-config-selinux to configure the user privilege and services

My Gnome had disappeared when I upgraded. I had to re-install it.

Is it definitely there?

[rsuriakumar]

oh ! is it like that.. i am not sure whether it is gnome screen or not .
it is usual graphical log in screen
when logging it said usr dir is apparently not available do you want /root instead but the login was not successful.
again i had to disable the selinux to work

[Finalzone]

rsurlakumar, when in shell mode using root log, type "fixfiles relabel". Selinux will confirm everything is done. Try to log as an user, it should work. If not, reboot. I found that code while reading Selinux faqs from official Fedora Core website.

Finalzone,

thanks a freakin million. after updating some FC2 test2 packages, my system was unbootable. "fixfiles relabel" fixed all this, saving me a lot of trouble.

thanks again!

[Finalzone]

No problem, path
