Hi! having problems with selinux for sylog and portmapper. Also cannot change password with selinux enable. it is running in targeted mode. I have been checking with nsa-selinux forum, and some of the ppl recommend that i ask this forum. from nsa-linux: On Tue, 2005-02-22 at 08:09 +0200, Jayendren Anand Maduray wrote: > Got FC3 running SELINUX in enforcing mode. > > 1. however when i try to change my password, i get the ffg error: > SystemError: couldn't get security context of `/etc/passwd': No data available > > 2. also, when i boot up, syslogd, and portmap cannot start, so i disabled it > in SELinux. i would like to get this to work, though. > > i am running kernel Linux shiva 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp The most likely scenario is that you never labeled your filesystems, or that you ran with SELinux disabled for some period of time and thus ended up with some files without security labels. Touch /.autorelabel and reboot, or run /sbin/fixfiles relabel and reboot. BTW, this kind of question belongs on fedora-selinux-list, not here, IMHO. -- Stephen Smalley <sds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> National Security Agency Hi! tried restorecon, here is the output: [root@shiva jay]# restorecon /etc/passwd [root@shiva jay]# passwd Changing password for user root.
