NetworkManager blocked by SELinux

[Kakao]

Fedora 13 64. NetworkManager tries to unlink /etc/hosts and is blocked:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/NetworkManager from unlink access on the file /etc/hosts.

It is a notebook in a mobile connection and needs the host name to be updated at each new connection:

# cat /etc/hosts

I think your /etc/hosts file has the wrong security label.

It should have system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0.

This seems to be one of the times that the recommended
change is not quite right.

You can fix this with "chcon system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0 /etc/hosts
as root (su - is mandatory for this)

It worked. Thanks.
