Not only that, if you have the SELinux Troubleshooter working (and you should, you know) it will pop an alert if and when there's a problem with SELinux. I have BOINC running and one of the projects is Einstein@home. For some reason, SELinux doesn't understand that all of the Einstein projects need to have access to certain device files and it keeps complaining. Granted, the projects are run in permissive mode so that the access isn't blocked, but it's a tad monotonous to have to reset the context for almost every project I do. (There doesn't seem to be an overall fix for this because it's filename specific.) If you're not getting any alerts, there's almost no chance that SELinux is involved. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
