Hi list.
I have a problem with my newly installed Fedora Core 6. During the
install, I used the new installer option of pulling in 3rd party
software repositories and added Livna, and then went happy on the
available package lists, knowing that some of these might create
conflicts and that the Fedora sucky software management would probably
only catch it when it was too late. And indeed, the installer went ahead
with all my selections, but stopped 75% something into the installation
with a conflict error and the only option it offered me was to reboot. I
was stressed for time and really didn't feel like running the gauntlet
again, so under the assumption that it did most of the installation
already, I booted the machine.
It was more or less OK - after installing a few more things that were
missing, I managed to get the machine to work almost properly - it was
actually much easier then my last botched install. The only thing that I
still have problem with is that swap isn't enabled when the computer
starts - after remounting root and mounting all other file systems, it
tries to start swap and failed with "Can't open /etc/fstap: Permission
denied".
Looking at /var/log/messages, I found this:
Oct 27 20:18:03 x-23 kernel: audit(1161973062.936:52): avc: denied
{ read } for pid=1583 comm="swapon" name="fstab" dev=dm-0 ino=5537800
scontext=system_u:system_r:fsadm_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=file
It looks like SELinux (which is enable by default on Fedora Core) is
preventing swapon from accessing /etc/fstab. Any idea why or how to fix
that ? I assume that generally preventing access to /etc/fstab is
something that I want to do, just not during system startup and not to
swapon.
Thanks.
