David: I think you're on to something. I did set the SELinux parameters to permissive, for targeted daemons. That probably wasn't necessary for this site, but I turned it on more to see what that entailed. This was only my third RHEL4 install after maybe two dozen setups of RHEL3. I can edit that config file, but is there a process I can restart that is involved with it? There is no service called "selinux" running, and none of the processes visible appear to be something I would associate with this.

Has anyone else seen it? This looks like something that Security-Enhanced Linux would generate. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to delve into THAT yet. Is your SE Linux configured to OFF/WARN or ENFORCE? Like so: [root@greyhound ~]# less /etc/sysconfig/selinux # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - SELinux is fully disabled. SELINUX=enforcing # SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are: # targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected. # strict - Full SELinux protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted Maybe someone else knows more? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
