Ever since I upgraded from F9 to F10 when F9 went EOL I've been having lots of SElinux warnings. Here's one. I get at seemingly random times, ie not when I log in.
Aug 3 09:06:50 steve setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing polkit-read-aut (polkit_auth_t) "write" to /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log (xserver_log_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l a4a0ec72-1ae8-46af-a27c-441b4a5f1cdb
This looks like a redirection of stdout to the log file. You can add this rule using
# grep polkit-read-aut /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypolkit # semodule -i mypolkit.pp
I believe this is actually a bug in xdm. in that it should be passing append privs for its log versus write.
If a relabel caused you to loose labels, then you need to add the labels via semanage fcontext instead of just executing a chcon.
For example, if I had web content under /myweb
# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t '/myweb(/.*)?' # restorecon -R -v /myweb
Would tell the SELinux system about my alternative labeling.
A blog I wrote about similar stuff.
http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/28027.html
setroubleshoot suggests restorecon -v '/var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log'
# ls -lZ /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log -rw-r--r-- gdm gdm system_u:object_r:xserver_log_t:s0 /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log
# restorecon -v /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log
]# ls -lZ /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log -rw-r--r-- gdm gdm system_u:object_r:xserver_log_t:s0 /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log
ie no change

This computer is on a 2 machine home network, the other machine being a Vista laptop and I have them connected via Samba. Is some client trying to login from the laptop?
# rpm -qa | grep selinux selinux-policy-3.5.13-67.fc10.noarch libselinux-devel-2.0.78-1.fc10.i386 selinux-policy-targeted-3.5.13-67.fc10.noarch libselinux-2.0.78-1.fc10.i386 libselinux-utils-2.0.78-1.fc10.i386 libselinux-python-2.0.78-1.fc10.i386
Any suggestions?

POP and IMAP are two very different animals. AFAIK Kmail was designed as a POP client and had IMAP added later. Every so often I take another look at Kmail's IMAP support and get the impression it's still not quite there, e.g. when reconnecting to a large folder it seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time doing something (indexing? synching? cacheing? no idea) before I could see any messages. Note that I don't mean the first visit to the folder, which would be understandable, but every visit.
I use cached imap on kmail with good results. It is fast and since the messages are also stored locally it is quite fast.
The only precaution worth of note is not to subscribe the "All Mail" folder for gmail accounts.
I haven't tried the latest version so maybe that's all improved now, but changing MUAs is something one tries not to do often, which is why I've stuck with Evo despite its faults. I have to say I also find Kmail's UI rather garish compared to Evo's, but that's personal taste.
There have been some improvements in this area. :-)

Looks like a case for a few lines of perl, and a quick call to sort for the ordering, probably the easiest fix.
See attached if the mailer doesn't eat it.
No the mailer didn't "eat it," but I haven't figured how to implement it. After some experimenting I have to admit I need an example. I am eager to see it work though.

Hi, I followed the instructions here for installing Pulse Audio, (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=206868) on my F10 machine, (an F9 upgrade). I did this as I thought the system upgrades would do this eventually anyway and was interested. However it's just just caused me grief.
Does anyone have any instructions on how to remove this completely from my system, that they've successfully used? It's become slow, hard-locks, sound skips or just stops.
Thanks James

Hi guys,
I'm trying to create an script to verify some databases and their privileges.
I have all of them in some files with the following format: server1 server2 server3 server4
Being all of them MySQL servers and the first one the master and the rest of the just the slaves.
I only want to check the privileges in the slaves and I've created the following statement: for i in `cat file1_cluster`; do echo -n $i: && mysql -h$i -uroot -pwhatever -e"show grants for 'user'@'10.10.%.%';" | grep -i "REPLICATION CLIENT" | wc -l ; done > /tmp/privs
Keep in mind I just want to know the slaves which doesn't have the REPLICATION CLIENT privileges, just that. So that will write in /tmp/privs something like: server1:0 server2:1 server3:0
Being the value 0 a machine which doesn't have REPLICATION CLIENT privilege and 1 being the value which mean it does.
The thing is, how can I do the "for" loop to avoid reading the first line of the file: file1_cluster, file2_cluster etc...cause the master will never have replication client privileges.
After reading the /tmp/privs with another for, I will use cut -d ":" -f to look for values distinct from 0 and do a mail -s to the admins.
Any help will be more than appreciated.
Thanks a lot A

Because you are a newbie, let me give you a couple of pointers. The first thing is to read the list guidelines!
Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
You have made a couple of mistakes that will cause a lot of people to ignore your message. The first thing is the subject - it does not tell us anything about your problem. You should also start a new message instead of replying to the digest. Second, you should NOT include the ENTIRE digest in your message.
Now, for installing software - you can use yum, or one of the GUIs like yumex. You may also want to look at the entries under the System menu in the top tool gar. (If using Gnome - the default desktop.)

1. Don't make irrelevant replies to postings (your message is NOT a reply to the digest that you quoted). 2. Don't quote entire digests when you do reply to one. 3. See the guidelines for using this list: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines 4. Read documentation. e.g. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/user-guide/f11/en-US/html/chap-User_Guide-Mana...
Now a quick example about your query: To install the Pidgin instant messaging program, using the command line, the root user would type in the following command, hit enter, then confirm the installation when prompted: yum install pidgin

In addition to what the others have said, looking at the User's guide and http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f11.html is a good start.
