SeLinux Message

[Carlton]

Any idea what all this means? I tried to install a new icon theme but got an error message so opened Firefox to Google the error. When I did, up pops an SELinux message.

OS is Fedora 10

Summary:

SELinux is preventing npviewer.bin (nsplugin_t) "name_connect" mmcc_port_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by npviewer.bin. It is not expected that this
access is required by npviewer.bin 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) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

.......Bump.......

Please don't bump, it's against the forum rules.

With all the things going on with the new F10, sometimes things take longer to get answered. Also, there's a good chance that no one knows the answer at this point.
