Here's some Selinux messages from my system log just after a system reboot about half an hour ago: Oct 2 22:24:13 tehogee kernel: audit(1159842231.053:4): avc: denied { create } for pid=2038 comm="iptables" scontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tclass=rawip_socket Oct 2 22:24:14 tehogee kernel: audit(1159842231.053:5): avc: denied { read } for pid=2038 comm="iptables" name="modprobe" dev=proc ino=-268435399 scontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:sysctl_modprobe_t:s0 tclass=file Oct 2 22:24:14 tehogee kernel: audit(1159842231.053:6): avc: denied { create } for pid=2039 comm="iptables" scontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tclass=rawip_socket Oct 2 22:24:14 tehogee kernel: audit(1159842231.053:7): avc: denied { read } for pid=2039 comm="iptables" name="modprobe" dev=proc ino=-268435399 scontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:sysctl_modprobe_t:s0 tclass=file Oct 2 22:24:14 tehogee kernel: audit(1159842231.057:8): avc: denied { create } for pid=2041 comm="iptables" scontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tclass=rawip_socket Oct 2 22:24:15 tehogee kernel: audit(1159842231.057:9): avc: denied { read } for pid=2041 comm="iptables" name="modprobe" dev=proc ino=-268435399 scontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:sysctl_modprobe_t:s0 tclass=file In a different thread today, I'm reporting some smartd errors - I wonder if there's any connection. I'm wondering what those "dev=proc ino=########## etc..." mean. Can anyone make any sense of this? Also, during startup, I get: eth0 is not ready touch: cannot touch "/var/lock/firestarter" : Permission denied fatal error: your kernel does not support iptables Firewall ### not started rm: cannot remove "/var/lock/firestarter" : Permission denied Moments later, Firestarter starts up seemingly normally, and when I boot up to the desktop, eth0 is working just fine Theories anyone? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
