Here is the response from vmware: VMware generates lots of code on the fly, so flipping PROT_EXEC with PROT_WRITE would not reasonably work. Especially not in the multithreaded environment where it would continuously cause IPIs to be send between processors, slowing down everything. If SELinux default policy authors decided that they cannot trust applications, then I'm afraid that you'll have to create special policy for VMware. libgdk-x11's library from vmware's directory will be used only if libraries on your host are found to be inadequate. Try 'VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=no vmware' and it should tell you which libraries are missing on your box. After you'll install them then libgdk-x11 from /usr/lib should be used. ------------------------------------------------------------- I haven't gotten the library test working yet..... tom -- Tom London -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
