"ausearch -m avc" shows a lot of messages, the last one being: time->Mon Nov 5 21:34:33 2012 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1352147673.756:131): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=no exit=-13 a0=238867e a1=7fff1f776498 a2=23909b0 a3=6 items=0 ppid=976 pid=1001 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 tty=tty1 ses=6 comm="login" exe="/usr/bin/login" subj=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 key=(null) type=AVC msg=audit(1352147673.756:131): avc: denied { entrypoint } for pid=1001 comm="login" path="/usr/bin/bash" dev="cciss!c0d0p2" ino=1310967 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:abrt_helper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=file There don't seem to be any messages mentioning movemail: "ausearch -m all |grep movemail" returns nothing. I can't try it again atm because I moved the installation to a different disk and didn't keep /usr/local where the self-compiled emacs was installed. The move caused more problems with rights and I better fix those first ... -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
