With SELinux, you also often want to see the security context. The -Z option to ls does this. On my FC5 system, /var/lib/mailman has: drwxrwsr-x root mailman system_u:object_r:mailman_data_t /var/lib/mailman/ And to check if SELinux is the reason you're getting errors, you need to look in /var/log/messages (or /var/log/audit/audit.log if the audit daemon is installed) Of course, reading the avc denial messages is the kind of black voodoo that makes Apache's mod_rewrite look like it was written for 5 year olds. :) When I'm in doubt, I turn off SELinux and try the action I was having problems with. If it works you found you problem. From there you'd have to modify the SELinux policy or file a bug to have that done. I've only just started toying with it, so I'm a long way from knowing how to modify policy properly. Anyway, you can use setenforce 0 to turn off selinux temporarily if you want to check that. - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Ever notice that even the busiest people are never too busy to tell you just how busy they are? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When crypto is outlawed bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iG0EARECAC0FAkR3QvsmGGh0dHA6Ly93d3cucG9ib3guY29tL350bXovcGdwL3Rt ei5hc2MACgkQuv+09NZUB1rf+ACgvTMR85JnvbYhZpnhSWMP+UewaGcAn0Uz1PVl z90LZ9stVkgvNgjlhz/S =5Hz2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
