Clean install of test2 with selinux in enforcing mode followed by a yum update. Many of the postinstall scripts reported failures and after a reboot (to boot the new kernel that didn't get installed) lots of things were very broken. Permissions on directories in /var were all messed up (as root I couldn't cd to /var/log to try to figure out what was going). So I did a clean install of test2 again, setting selinux to warn only, and things are much happier. It seems like the default policy of selinux kept many files from being updated properly. Let me know if you file a bug report so I can add to it. tjb -- ======================================================================= | Thomas Baker email: tjb@xxxxxxx | | Systems Programmer | | Research Computing Center voice: (603) 862-4490 | | University of New Hampshire fax: (603) 862-1761 | | 332 Morse Hall | | Durham, NH 03824 USA http://wintermute.sr.unh.edu/~tjb | =======================================================================
