I think you mean "semodule -DB" as that's what the manpage gives as an example (BTW the page is phenomenally hard to understand, not least because at one point it uses MODE, at another it says "module" and at a third it says KIND, and it isn't clear if these are supposed to be the same thing). Anyway, it had no effect. The error persists of course, but there is still no AVC report. Thanks all the same. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
