Look at http://people.redhat.com/~drepper/selinux-mem.html SELinux will allow a badly built library to be loaded by changing its context to textrel_shlib_t. You could try chcon -t texrel_shlib_t libxml.so.2.6.26 And see if SELinux allows the access. If you are getting no avc messages they could be dontaudited. Although I would be surprised. # semodule -DB Will turn off the dontauditrules. This will generate AVC messages for all blocked access. You can turn the rules back on by executing # semodule -B -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
