Hi,

I just did a yum upgrade and it's killed MySQL, the problem seems to be 
with selinux..

When I try to start mysqld it fails, and I get the following in 
/var/log/messages:

[...]
Jan  7 20:33:17 thome kernel: audit(1105129997.241:0): avc:  denied  { 
associate } for  pid=6221 exe=/usr/libexec/mysqld name=mysql.sock 
scontext=root:object_r:unlabeled_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t 
tclass=filesystem
Jan  7 20:33:27 thome mysqld: Starting MySQL:  failed
[...]

I see from the changelog that there have been some changes to the 
selinux config in this package

* Wed Jan 05 2005 Tom Lane <tgl at redhat.com> 3.23.58-14

- work around SELinux restriction that breaks mysql_install_db (bug #141062)
- Add a restorecon to keep the mysql.log file in the right context 
(bz#143887)
- Fix init script to not need a valid username for startup check (bz#142328)
- Don't assume /etc/my.cnf will specify pid-file (bz#143724)
[...]

Any suggestions gratefully received :)

Tolan.
