I have an F-16 computer that was working normally a couple of
days ago when run this morning has an unusual [to me] problem.
When I su and type in the root password form the XCFE desktop it
spends about 20 seconds before displaying a prompt and then
instead of:
[bobg@box6 ~]$ su
Password:
[root@box6 bobg]# exit
I get a prompt: bash-4.2#
If instead of bringing up the desktop with startx I "su" it
changes to root quickly after entering the password, also with
the prompt "bash-4.2#."
Other than that it apparently works? But obviously something has
changed and I can't guess what?

If I ssh into box 9 from this computer [box6] I see the following
which appears to indicate an SELinux problem?
bash-4.2# cat /var/log/messages
Mar 5 10:08:18 box9 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing
/usr/bin/xauth from write access on the None /root. For complete
SELinux messages. run sealert -l 90fc420a-dec9-47ce-afa5-6132c99ec61d
Mar 5 10:08:22 box9 dbus-daemon[906]: ** Message: No devices in use,
exit
Not sure what to do ...

I just noticed an obscure little icon that brings up "SELinux
Alert Browser" which says that it has detected a problem:
The source process: /usr/bin/xauth
Attempted this access: write
On this None: /root
It offers some solutions but I am uncertain or the proper response?
