You're misunderstanding. vglgenkey does work on RHEL 6 if you disable SELinux. However, it doesn't work by using the X Security extension. It simply makes a copy of the existing gdm xauth key, but it needs access to /usr/bin/xauth to do that, and SElinux disallows that from within the GDM context. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
