Dear fellow selinux experts, I am trying to make one of my machines a dhcp server to connect other machines to the internet, see thread in Fedora list if applicable, I have achieved a breakthrough, but selinux denies it :( [root@localhost ~]# dhcpd -f Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server 4.0.0 Copyright 2004-2007 Internet Systems Consortium. All rights reserved. For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/ Warning: subnet 10.154.19.0/27 overlaps subnet 10.154.19.0/24 Not searching LDAP since ldap-server, ldap-port and ldap-base-dn were not specified in the config file Wrote 0 leases to leases file.

How can I allow it to work? Setroubleshoot has not kicked in to warn me so I do not know a fix as of this moment :( Regards, Antonio -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
